Hi,

I have one report that is working fine in 762 version but no longer working in 7611 or 7702 or 7702M.
Code as below:
SQL SQLORA
select to_char(begin_date, 'MON-YY') PP_MONTH from table_name;

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS PP FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-READ PP &PP_MONTH.A6
END
TYPE &PP_MONTH.A6

The output should be: MAY-10

But now, it's showing 000006
instead.

when I increase form A6 to A12, it is then showing 000006MAY-10

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Best guess is that the sql is returning a varchar, and the numbers are the length of the field.

Try expanding the size of the -Read by increasing the size of the variable or adding a second variable.

Add
SQL SQLORA SET VARCHAR OFF
to EDASPROF. You probably have it in 7.6.2 but not the other versions, nothing has changed for FORMAT ALPHA.

Alan,

You are right, it's not in new release. I just added and now my code is working again..

Many thanks.....
