Re: Filling a Subfile with an SQL statement / Writing a CSV

   Brian...

   The line with SQLCOD should read: "Dow    SQLCOD = 0" (in my previous post
   the 0 is on the next line). Also, SQL_Buffer is a data Structure where you
   define the fields that are retrieved by your SQL statement. In the example
   below, that would be a DS with 2 fields: Field1 and Field2

    Hi Brian,

    Here's a bit of code which you could use:

    C                   ExSR      SelC1                 
    C                   ExSR      OpenC1                
    C                   ExSR      ReadC1

  Thanks.  My only question is how do you move forward in the recordset?
  I'm assuming if you are writing the results, you would need to be able
  to go through the results one by one, correct?

  Hi Brian,

  ...and for the first question you can test SQLCOD, ie, DoW SQLCOD = 0

  Hope this helps,

  Brian,

  regarding your second question,  you could always use the Jakarta POI
  classes to output a "real" excel sheet, and have the user pick it up
    

  from
  

  the IFS, or mail it to him/her.

  Alternatively, you could output to a workfile, and have the user import
    

  it
  

  into excel using the iSeries Access data transfer add-in.

  Writing a CSV
  

  Hi All,



  When I use an SQL statement to obtain information to a database, do I
  need to create a cursor in order to write the data to a subfile?  Is
  there a way to do something like a DoW not %eof(SQL returned records)?



  The other question I have regards writing a CSV file.  Right now, we
  have a null device where all of our "scratch" data is written (PRT01).
  One of the users on our system needs to have the results of a query
  written to a file that will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet.  I was
  planning on simply writing the file to our scratch drive and have them
  grab the print file using Navigator.  Does anyone know if there is a
  better way to do this?



  Thanks!



  Brian.
