product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
When trying to create a COBOL routine SQL0451 is returned for the column defined as the DECIMAL data type. Example: ========= create procedure DB2INST1.TESTSP ( in in_parm1 char(8), in in_parm2 char(8), in in_parm3 decimal(1,0), ) external name 'TESTSP' language cobol PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL WITH NULLS modifies sql data Output: ========= DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned: SQL0451N The "PARAMETER #3" definition, in the statement that defines routine "DB2INST1.TESTSP", contains a data type "DECIMAL" that is not appropriate for a non-sourced routine written in the given language. LINE NUMBER=4. SQLSTATE=42815 However the routine can be created in DB2 v8.x and DB2 v9.1 without any problems. | |
