Hi all,
what's wrong with this code:
| Code: |
| SET IsExcepElem = CONTAINS( FIELDNAME(ExcepListRef), 'Exception'); |
Error Output:
Incorrect function or procedure name "CONTAINS" or argument count.
Thanks in advance for all hints!
Cheers,
Seb |

Hi,
actually the InfoCenter tells me:
| Code: |
| >>-CONTAINS--(--SourceExpression--,--SearchExpression--)------->< |
I want to test if the field name of my reference contains the word "Exception". Thus, the number and also the types of the arguments should be correct in my case. |

| Actually, it's a new function in V6.1 not in V6.0 or V5.0 |

I have a faint memory of this being asked before, and the advice being raise a PMR. Certainly doesn't work in my copy of v6.1 either.
Until there's a response to the PMR (or a better reply to your post!), use POSITION instead.

@Vitor: Thanks for your advise.
@AkankshA: Neither works. Indeed, it seems to be a bug in the CONTAINS implementation. |

You did not post the whole error message, so I can't tell if it is from the Toolkit or from the Runtime (after a deploy). Can you post the whole message please. If it is after deploy, are you sure your runtime broker is 6.1.0.3 and not an earlier version?
Regards,

FWIW I get the error from the Toolkit:
| Code: |
Build id: 6.1.0.3-IFix003-20090305_1223

If it is a toolkit error, then you can raise a PMR to get a fix for the ESQL syntax checker in the toolkit. Whilst you are waiting, you could try to use an "executable comment" to bypass the checker and send to code to the runtime where it should be processed as you expect. For example:
| Code: |
| /*!{ SET IsExcepElem = CONTAINS( FIELDNAME(ExcepListRef), 'Exception'); }!*/ |

Ok, when I use the executable comment, I get a deployment error:
BIP2558E: Undefined function '.CONTAINS'
As far as I know the Broker is on patch level 6.1.0.3. |

Hello. This error almost certainly implies that you are deploying to an older (pre-6.1.0.3) broker. Can you run "mqsiservice -v" on the machine you are deploying to and look at the version deployed on that box.
Kind Regards,

Is this one of those hidden things that one has to use mqsichangebroker -f with? |

Ok...
1st call simply asking for the version- admins answer: 6.1.0.3
2nd call asking to run mqsiservice - admins answer 6.1.0.2 *ups*
Their development environment is running on WinServer 2000 and it seems 6.1.0.3 needs WinServer 2003
Should I open a PMR or is it already work in progress? We cannot use CONTAINS anyway. |
