Re: String Parsing in RPG IV

I have a similar query, can someone help.

I have a rpgle program which invokes a java method makestring(arg); and retrieves a value.

the value which is passed is like this 'XXXX-000011' and retrieves a value as 30. I could not find the defintion for this Java method in iSereis, but i need to understand how this value is interpreted.

also, any idea why this interpretation is done....

p.s. the interpretaed value is again used to verify the data with the Oracle server, but am not clear why this interpretation is done.


Many thanks, Vinoth

Re: String Parsing in RPG IV

java objects in RPG are basically "handles" to the java object, not the value of the java object itself. so the value of 30 is basically that object is the 30th java object created in that job (at least that has been my experience). FWIW RPG doesn't have a clue as to what the java objects are but simply maintains a handle to where the object resides in memory. the difference is you are passing the string (creating a java object of type string) not retrieving a value from a java object of type string.

this really should be a separate thread, even though the question seems that it might be related this thread is about parsing a string not creating a string...

Ok.. May I have to rewrite my question.. I will write in a new thread... ;-)
