|
Thought I'd append this since I had to experiment a bit with it to get it working.
Background is I've written a Rexx application that compares a DL/1 database key with it's root and child segments with the equivalent DB2 tables (that do not need to match segment for table).
The example that caused me grief for a while was the following unloaded DL/1 database

As can be seen (?), there is a root segment (SFPBPNR), then a child segment (SFPBFALL) which in turn can contain its own children (SFPBSJP).
My idea was to maintain a list of each segment, whether the equivalent DB2 cursor was open and what that cursor number was..
What I hadn't figured on was second SFPBFALL segment. It seems that the db2 descriptor for the second SFPBFALL didn't match that for the previous SFPBSJP, so I was receiving error

on the second SFPBFALL fetch.
"Normally", this wouldn't be a problem, since you've probably only opened one cursor in your Rexx script, but here it was.
The simple solution was to change the code from
| Code: |
address dsnrexx "execsql fetch c"y" using descriptor :db2"
|
(where y was the cursor "number" for each segment/table)
to
| Code: |
address dsnrexx "execsql describe s"y" into :db2"
address dsnrexx "execsql fetch c"y" using descriptor :db2"
|
after which the problem disappeared.
