Glenn,

I'd check the defaults on CRTBNDRPG and/or CRTRPGMOD.

My system has CVTOPT(*NONE) as a default, it sounds as if yours has
CVTOPT(*VARCHAR)

HTH,
Charles

Hi folks,

I searched the archives and didn't find anything to help me with my error so now that I have figured it out, I thought I would send this in case it might help someone in the future.

I have a DDL-described table, and among other columns, have one defined as follows:
PONUMBERS  VARCHAR(760) CCSID 37 NOT NULL

I found that I needed the following control-spec in my rpg module:
h cvtopt(*novarchar)

because without this, the rpg dump listing showed that PONUMBERS was CHAR and not VCHAR.

So even if my getPOs procedure returns varying-length data:
D getPOs          PI           760a   varying
D   orderType                    4a   const
D   orderNumber                 17a   const

The following statement moves the returned data into a character field, which then causes an error when writing to the database file.
poNumbers = getPOs(orderType: orderNumber);

The control-spec fixed it.

Happy computing.
