Calling stored procedure on i Series using IBM DB2 Connect driver

Abhishek Jain picture Abhishek Jain · Jan 27, 2011 · Viewed 9.1k times · Source

I have a C# application, from where I am trying to call an ISeries Stored Procedure (wrapping an RPGLE program). This RPGLE program returns a result set back to my C# application. When I try to call the stored procedure, it errors and hangs indefinitely. In the debug mode, I can see the SQL error message as shown at the end of the post. If I use OleDBConnection it works fine, but it doesn't work with DB2 Connect.

I have tried to setup Tracing on my page, but it didn't help as the page just hangs and I am not able to view the stack trace.

On ISeries side, I can see that the program executes correctly (For testing, I am writing a record in a test file at the end of the program.)

Has anybody else faced this error before? I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks.

Code:-

DB2Connection conn1 = new DB2Connection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings  ["db2IBM"].ConnectionString);
        conn1.Open();

        string callString5 = "PGMLIBLE.GETCONSIGNMENTS";

        DB2Command cmd1 = new DB2Command(callString5, conn1);
        cmd1.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        cmd1.CommandTimeout = 5;

        DB2Parameter prmCons = cmd1.Parameters.Add("prmCons", DB2Type.Char, 7);
        prmCons.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
        prmCons.Value = "JUT0016";

        DB2Parameter prmCmp = cmd1.Parameters.Add("prmCmp", DB2Type.Char, 3);
        prmCmp.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
        prmCmp.Value = "DTA";

        DB2Parameter prmIorE = cmd1.Parameters.Add("prmIorE", DB2Type.Char, 1);
        prmIorE.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
        prmIorE.Value = "Y";

        DB2DataAdapter adp = new DB2DataAdapter(cmd1);
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();

        adp.Fill(dt);
     // If I just execute cmd1.executeNonquery it doesn't error.
     //  cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery(); 
        GridView2.DataSource = dt;
        GridView2.DataBind();

        conn1.Close();
        conn1.Dispose();
        cmd1.Dispose();

I have always done the following:

    DB2Connection conn1 = new DB2Connection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings ["db2IBM"].ConnectionString);
    conn1.Open();

    string callString5 = "PGMLIBLE.GETCONSIGNMENTS";

    DB2Command cmd1 = new DB2Command(callString5, conn1);
    cmd1.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
    cmd1.CommandTimeout = 5;

    cmd1.Parameters.Add("prmCons", DB2Type.Char, 7).Value = "JUT0016";
    prmCons.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;

    cmd1.Parameters.Add("prmCmp", DB2Type.Char, 3).Value = "DTA";
    prmCmp.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;

    cmd1.Parameters.Add("prmIorE", DB2Type.Char, 1).Value = "Y";
    prmIorE.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;

    DB2DataAdapter adp = new DB2DataAdapter(cmd1);
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();

    adp.Fill(dt);
 // If I just execute cmd1.executeNonquery it doesn't error.
 //  cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery(); 
    GridView2.DataSource = dt;
    GridView2.DataBind();

    conn1.Close();
    conn1.Dispose();
    cmd1.Dispose();

I can't remember how to do the direction, but this is basically how I have implemented this in the past.
