Error description

  • When in Rational Developer for System z 9.5.1 LPEX COBOL edit,
    adding null indicators (e.g. like :NOPPES* below) in the SQL
    statement and click Run SQL in the context menu, nothing happens
    
    After removing these null indicators the "Host Variable Values"
    dialog is shown as expected.
    
    
    
    EXEC SQL
        UPDATE USER184.P49622
           SET ASSOC_NAME =
                 :DCLP49622.ASSOC-NAME
                        :NOPPES-ASSOC-NAME
              ,ASSOC_GENDER =
                 :DCLP49622.ASSOC-GENDER
                        :NOPPES-ASSOC-GENDER
              ,ASSOC_HIRE_DTE =
                 :DCLP49622.ASSOC-HIRE-DTE
                        :NOPPES-ASSOC-HIRE-DTE
              ,ASSOC_DEPT_ID =
                 :DCLP49622.ASSOC-DEPT-ID
                        :NOPPES-ASSOC-DEPT-ID
              ,ASSOC_PHONE_EXT =
                 :DCLP49622.ASSOC-PHONE-EXT
                        :NOPPES-ASSOC-PHONE-EXT
              ,ASSOC_START_SALRY =
                 :DCLP49622.ASSOC-START-SALRY
              ,ASSOC_USER_ID =
                 :DCLP49622.ASSOC-USER-ID
              ,ASSOC_ACTIVITY_TSP = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
         WHERE ASSOC_ID = :DCLP49622.ASSOC-ID
    END-EXEC.
    
    When copying and pasting the SQL statement in Data Studio, it
    complains and showed this error in the log:
    "DB2 for z/OS: Unexpected text ":NULL" encountered."
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • RDz passes the SQL statement to Data Studio with indicator
    variables intact. Data Studio cannot handle indicator
    variables.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
