				Hi there,
 
 
I am trying to invoke an Oracle stored procedure from a msgflow using ESQL. The oracle's CCSID is ISO8859-8:
 
   
	| Code: | 
   
  
	
 
SELECT VALUE FROM V$NLS_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';
 
VALUE = IW8ISO8859P8
 
 | 
   
 
 
After Calling the procedure I've noticed that the hebrew strings are returned as reversed '?' (spanish). My broker works UTF8 (1208).
 
I've tried casting the returned string to 916 but I receive an exception 
   
	| Quote: | 
   
  
	| BIP2136 Source character "bf00" in field ... cannot be converted from Unicode to codepage '916'. | 
   
 
 
 
Here is my ESQL code:
 
   
	| Code: | 
   
  
	
 
CREATE PROCEDURE merchantDetailsLevel1(IN parm CHAR, OUT parmOut CHAR, OUT returnCode FLOAT) 
 
LANGUAGE DATABASE 
 
EXTERNAL NAME "sapmainp.pk_check_pirtei_isra_ishur.pr_netunei_isra_ishur";
 
 
CREATE COMPUTE MODULE testSPFlow_Compute
 
   CREATE FUNCTION Main() RETURNS BOOLEAN
 
   BEGIN
 
      CALL CopyMessageHeaders();
 
      
 
      DECLARE merchantRet CHARACTER;
 
      DECLARE returnCode FLOAT;
 
      
 
      CALL merchantDetailsLevel1(InputBody.parm, merchantRet, returnCode);
 
      
 
      SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.parmOut = CAST(CAST(merchantRet AS BLOB CCSID 916) AS CHARACTER CCSID 1208);
 
      
 
      RETURN TRUE;
 
   END;
 
 
   CREATE PROCEDURE CopyMessageHeaders() BEGIN
 
      DECLARE I INTEGER 1;
 
      DECLARE J INTEGER;
 
      SET J = CARDINALITY(InputRoot.*[]);
 
      WHILE I < J DO
 
         SET OutputRoot.*[I] = InputRoot.*[I];
 
         SET I = I + 1;
 
      END WHILE;
 
   END;
 
 
   CREATE PROCEDURE CopyEntireMessage() BEGIN
 
      SET OutputRoot = InputRoot;
 
   END;
 
END MODULE;

Have I missed some configuration? Is there an ODBC parameter I need to set? 
 
 
I've searched the forums before posting and found this similar unanswered post: http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=193704&sid=f4b3889a26f1d923c725451948ccaec2
 
 
I'd appreciate any ideas,

				After numerous attempts I managed to solve it.
 
I changed the procedure declaration to return a BLOB variable and casted the BLOB to CHARACTER:
 
   
	| Code: | 
   
  
	
 
CREATE PROCEDURE merchantDetailsLevel1(IN parm CHAR, OUT parmOut BLOB, OUT returnCode FLOAT)
 
LANGUAGE DATABASE
 
EXTERNAL NAME "sapmainp.pk_check_pirtei_isra_ishur.pr_netunei_isra_ishur"; 
 
...
 
      DECLARE merchantRet BLOB;
 
      DECLARE returnCode FLOAT;
 
      
 
      CALL merchantDetailsLevel1(InputBody.parm, merchantRet, returnCode);
 
      
 
      SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.parmOut = CAST(merchantRet AS CHARACTER CCSID 1208);
 
...

If anyone thinks of a better solution, I'd be glad to hear about it.
 
 
Thanks,

				Looks about right. However if you are on Oracle 10g and above your database can be UTF-8 even though the OS is CCSID 819...
 
 
Have fun   _________________ MQ & Broker admin |
