Local Fix: | |
The issue will not occur if an INOUT parameter is used. Variables that will be both passing (IN) data and receiving data (OUT) can be declared as INOUT rather than passing in the variable twice. For example if the procedure was called as proc1(myvar, myvar), it can be called as proc1(myvar) if an INOUT rather than an IN and OUT parameter is used. For additional information on the INOUT parameter please see the Create procedure statement at the following Infocenter page. http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/index.jsp?topic=%2 Fcom.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc%2Fdoc%2Fr0003493.html | |
