Compare part of string to field

Keithbrc — Mon, 14 May 2012 10:40:46 +0000

Hi. Hopefully a simple one but beyond my self-taught abilities in iSeries SQL. I have a file with one field containing customer order details including their purchase order reference such as ‘A1-123′. The first part of the PO reference is a branch identifier. Unfortunately, as it is a free text field, it is sometimes expressed as ’123-A1′ instead. I have another file containing branch details where ‘A1′ = London etc. So I need to look in my first file and find any orders where part of the order reference string matches the branch code in the branch details file. I realise it will be an inefficient means of testing as I will also get erroneous matches but I can also check for the customer account number in the first file which should narrow it down. I *think* the statement should be something like SELECT * FROM FILE1 WHERE CUSTORD LIKE (SELECT * FROM FILE2) but clearly this is an oversimplification. Any ideas? Thanks, Keith

Set DataTable name in returned data set

LordPerrin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:29:16 +0000

I have a SQL stored procedure with simple select statements that returns multiple datatables within the dataset. The stored procedure is being called from C#/.NET code.

The stored procedure is returning the data but the datatable names end up Table, Table1, Table2,… when the dataset is received on the .NET side. Is there a way to define the datatable name within the stored procedure that will be used in the dataset and seen on the .NET side?

iSeries SQL function in a SQL procedure – error: Function Name “in LIBL type N not found.”

Seeker1 — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:36:41 +0000

Hi everyone. I have created an SQL procedure using Create Procedure interactively after starting SQL with STRSQL on an iSeries V5R4. I then created a function using the Create Function statement interactively in SQL on the iSeries. I put the function in the select field prior to the where clause. The function works interactively in a SQLRPGLE and the procedure works without the function included in the select. However, when I put the function in the select I receive the error message function name “in *LIBL type *N not found”. I qualified the library in the create function statement and qualified the library on the “SPECIFIC” parameter. Drilling down further in the error message indicates the external name and the usage name are different. What am I missing here? Thanks
