Base64 Encode e decode

[paolinosal]

HI all,

I was trying the systools function base64 encode and decode but I have a little problem with the decode...

here's a test case:

Create Table Testbase64(Rowid Int Not Null Generated Always As Identity (Start With 1, Increment By 1, No
Cache), Fieldutf8 Varchar(4096) ccsid 1208 Not Null With Default, Fieldbase64 Varchar(4096) ccsid 1208 Not Null With Default);

Insert Into Testbase64(Fieldutf8) Values ('Test base 64');

Update Testbase64
Set Fieldbase64 = Systools.Base64encode(Fieldutf8)
Where Rowid = 1;

Select *From testbase64;

This is the result:

1

Test base 64

VGVzdCBiYXNlIDY0

Checking the result with the site: https://www.base64encode.org/

it seems the same.

Now I want to decode it, it seems simple, but I can't return to 'Test base 64'.

What I'm doing wrong?

 Update Testbase64
Set Fieldutf8 = Systools.Base64decode(Fieldbase64)
Where Rowid = 1;

Many thanks

I found the solution obviously is simply after I found it... I was trying from Run Sql script of Ibm Acs, but if make a simple SQLRPGLE it works perfectly...

Why it doesn't works in my interactive sql?

'Run SQL Scripts' shouldn't be "interactive SQL" exactly, though it can make sense to think of it that way. To use "interactive SQL" specifically, use the STRSQL command in a terminal session. See if it all works there.
