I offered this in a previous post:
There's a COBOL reserved word HIGH-VALUES that corresponds to hex 'FF'.
So, MOVE HIGH-VALUES TO field-name.
Did you try it? What was the result?

bruce2359,
I will try it. I was not sure if it was something that I can use in ESQL. I will try it and let you know.
Vitor,
Thanks for sending the updated link
Cheers. |

I should have been more clear in my earlier post. I am working with WMB 6.1 and using a compute node to convert a XML message into COBOL copybook format. One of the fields of the copybook requires X'FF (high values). The field is defined as PICX(01). How do I move the high values
into this field using ESQL.
The link that Kimbert had given in the earlier post talks about setting all the fields at the time of copybook import. I do not want all the fields in the copybook to have the high values as default. I just need to populate it for this one field.
bruce2359,
I tried your solution but I do not think it works with ESQL as I got a syntax error. Do you have a ESQL code that's currently running which has this code?
Cheers, |

| Why not just set the field to the blob value of x'FF'? |

I presume that 0xFF is not normally a valid value for this field - it's an out-of-band value. Otherwise mqjeff's solution ( or some other simple SET statement ) would do the job easily.
In the MRM parser, such values as known as 'Null values'. A null value is respresented in the message tree by a *VALUE* of NULL ( not the same as setting the field to NULL, thus deleting it!).
The CWF parser allows you to specify how a NULL value should be represented in the physical bit stream. In your case, you want it to be a literal byte value of 0xFF.
So, you need to
- In the message definition file, set the Null Handling properties on the element as described here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v6r0m0/topic/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ad06250_.htm
- In your ESQL, SET myFieldRef VALUE = NULL;

Er, two points:
- ESQL is not COBOL
- ESQL is, by design, completely void of any language or format-specific concepts. |
