  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • An EGL program migrated from VisualAge Generator may experience
    a -305 SQL return code when an SQL clause references a host vari
    able that is contained in an EGL basicRecord structured record.
    
    Since there is no way to set a variable as nullable in an EGL st
    ructured basicRecord, the -305 will occur if the SQL statement r
    eturns a null value to the host variable.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • This fix takes care of the problem where nullable items
    could be used in a where clause.
    
    This fix also allows the user to specify a symbolic
    parameter VAGSQLNULLABLES with a value of YES to inform the
    cobol generator that all sql host variables are to be
    treated as nullable, even though the EGL variable does not
    have the nullable flag set. This is to make it compatible
    with VAG.
    
    Fixtest EGLFixtest200812090853 will contain the fix and can
    only be placed on top of a 7102 or 7101 (with fixtest
    EGLFixtest200811141515) system. This fixtest cannot be used
    with 751.
