I would like to test a DB2 stored procedure running on an AS400 system.
I have the IBM System i Access for Windows installed and can run SQL commands against the DB2 database.
My question is: What is the syntax to execute a stored procedure that takes in a parameter and returns a result as an output parameter and print the value to the screen?
Just to clarify: I am not asking how to call the proc in code. I want to execute the proc and see the results in the gui tool (which is similar to SQL Enterprise Manager).
db2 file catalogs the stored procedures. To call this stored procedure, you need to put in a CHAR value for the IN parameter, job , and a question mark, '?' , for each of the OUT parameters.
You can call an SQL stored procedure with the execute, open, or get statement; in each case, you use the #sql directive. A stored procedure is a set of instructions for a database, like a function in EGL.
use the keyword call
and pass in the parameters.
call myStoredProc(parm1, parm2, ?);
for more details see here http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/dm-0503melnyk/. The interesting part is Figure 5. Using the Command Editor to call an SQL procedure
