Why REGEXP_COUNT returns a wrong value?

[Carpiem]

Hello all,

I'm puzzled why REGEXP_COUNT returns weird results, for example take this query:

select regexp_count('1','[A-Z]')
from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 

Regular expression [A-Z] means it accepts a letter from A to Z. But 1 is no letter, and the result of...

Except when you call it from the 5250 screen and it opens up a browser the 5250 screen is black and waiting on you to click it before it will display the screen back to where you called the CL from.
Anyone else...

When I insert a record via RPGLE, the date fields always default to *LOVAL.
Whereas, when I insert a record using SQL (or an ETL...

What I want to do is extract specific files ( I already know how to do all that ) to the test system. I can do this by extracting the production...

b/c of some weird unknown reason. We have an HP printer that when it runs out of paper it needs varied off and back on. This user does not have authority to the device. How can I in a CL program allow them to do this? I have tried GRTACCAUT but that does not work. Gives me an error saying they...

Something that I thought would be fairly easy to accomplish has taken me a week and I just keep hitting roadblocks every step of the way. I am hoping that someone has been able to achieve this and can maybe offer some tips.

The scenario is that our corporate web site (PHP using the DB2...

Hi Everyone,

Please forgive me and let me know if this is posted twice, my first post didn't seem to work.

I have an sql command that seems to be taking a long time to process. My RPG program processes ~ 500k records and runs in less than 1 minute, love my i.

However...

Not sure if this should go here or in DDS, but I'm trying to find all records in a table that include illegal characters in any of their fields. There are a little over 1 million records in this table, so hand checking all of them isn't very practical. Does anyone know of a way to detect all illegal...

I need to pick up multiple files from a remote server (not an i).
I do not know the file names and the names will never be the same name.
I'd like...
