SqlException: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -302, SQLSTATE: 22001, SQLERRMC: null

Question

What does sqlcode -302 means? Where do i get the sqlcode definitions?

Please advice

Thanks,

Answer 1

You can find the codes in the DB2 Information Center. Here's a definition of the -302 from the z/OS Information Center:

THE VALUE OF INPUT VARIABLE OR PARAMETER NUMBER position-number IS INVALID OR TOO LARGE FOR THE TARGET COLUMN OR THE TARGET VALUE

On Linux/Unix/Windows DB2, you'll look under SQL Messages to find your error message. If the code is positive, you'll look for SQLxxxxW, if it's negative, you'll look for SQLxxxxN, where xxxx is the code you're looking up.

Answer 2

To get the definition of the SQL codes, the easiest way is to use db2 cli!

at the unix or dos command prompt, just type

db2 "? SQL302"

this will give you the required explanation of the particular SQL code that you normally see in the java exception or your db2 sql output :)

hope this helped.

As a general point when using a search engine to search for SQL codes make sure you put the sqlcode e.g. -302 in quote marks - like "-302" otherwise the search engine will exclude all search results including the text 302, since the - sign is used to exclude results.
