Following example code:
| Code: |
CREATE COMPUTE MODULE testy
CREATE FUNCTION Main() RETURNS BOOLEAN
BEGIN
FOR ALL Body.Invoice.Purchases."Item"[]
AS I (I.Quantity <= 50)
END FOR;
END;
END MODULE; |
Is producing following exception:
Syntax error. Valid options include: .NET IDENTIFIER SIMPLE_FUNCTION
I took the code from IBM directly,
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/12.0?topic=content-accessing-unknown-multiple-occurrences-element
I don't understand what the error is. I'm using the code as is.
(Yes, for all intents and purposes the code is incomplete and achieves nothing, I reduced it to deomnstrate the syntax error itself. Even if the code is the part of a bigger code base, same error persists)
ACE 12.0.8.0

Hi, so the example is correct but confusing.
In ESQL there is a FOR STATEMENT:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/12.0?topic=statements-statement
And there is a FOR FUNCTION:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/12.0?topic=functions-function
The code you posted mixed them up - it uses the FOR ALL syntax which is part of the FOR FUNCTION but then has a END FOR; which is part of a FOR STATEMENT and this is why an error is shown in the toolkit.
The docs example you linked to is using the FOR FUNCTION, but does not make that clear. It needs to be included within a statement to be valid in
the toolkit, For example this should parse correctly for you:
| Code: |
SET OutputRoot.JSON.Data.Result = FOR ANY InputRoot.JSON.Invoice.Purchases."Item"[]
AS I (I.Quantity <= 50); |
However, personally I would write these on one line to avoid confusion:
| Code: |
| SET OutputRoot.JSON.Data.Result = FOR ANY InputRoot.JSON.Invoice.Purchases."Item"[] AS I (I.Title = 'The XML Companion'); |
I do think the example could be improved to make this clear and I will request that it is updated.
I hope this helps and makes sense...

I was not familiar with FOR FUNCTION. Now it's all much more clear and the esql compiles
Thank you kindly for quick response. |
