Trying to insert the cobol message in DB column.Used the asbitstream function,But getiing the below error.How do i cast?
Code:
DECLARE Msg BLOB;
      SET Msg = ASBITSTREAM(InputRoot.DFDL.IMSTRANRECORD CCSID InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId Encoding InputRoot.Properties.Encoding);
      Declare Msg_Char CHAR;
      SET Msg_Char = CAST(Msg AS CHAR CCSID InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId Encoding InputRoot.Properties.Encoding);
------------
BIP2521E: ('gen.operation1_Request_Response_Compute2.Main', '18.24') : Error casting the value ''X'11fc0000474b5230373620202020202020202020202020202020202020202020202020202020220202020202020202020202020202020''' to ''CHARACTER''.
An error occurred when casting a value to a different data type. This may be because no conversions exist between the two data types or because the particular value was unsuitable.

Remove the CCSID and Encoding from the second CAST.

Updated the second cast,but still same error.
Code:

SET Msg = ASBITSTREAM(InputRoot.DFDL.IMSTRANRECORD CCSID InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId Encoding InputRoot.Properties.Encoding);
      Declare Msg_Char CHAR;
      SET Msg_Char = CAST(Msg AS CHAR);
SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.DBMESSAGE.MessageIn = Msg_Char;

I did remove the encoding ccsid before only but posted wrongly.The error is without ccsid and encoding in the second cast.

You are casting from BLOB to CHARACTER so the CCSID and encoding are required. Please can you provide details of the actual values of CCSID and encoding - perhaps from a user trace or a Trace node.

Don't use a CAST in the second statement, just straight assignment to get the hex values?

It's a fair point. The OP has not said what the type of the database column is. I have been assuming that it's a CHAR or a VARCHAR because that's what the ESQL led me to believe.

If the message contains a mix of character and non-character data, then a simple CAST won't reconstruct the original data. For example:

Code:
BIP2521E: ('gen.operation1_Request_Response_Compute2.Main', '18.24') : Error casting the value "X'11fc0000...'"

that doesn't look like character data.

Check again. CAST(blob AS CHARACTER) should not generate a conversion error, without either a CCSID or Encoding clause.

Thanks for the reply.
The code is working.
The IMS copybook had binary header which we need to remove and then use the ccsid and encoding while casting to char.Thanks all.

Hello friend I am getting similar code error so where you able to sort it out? Please help me if you can

did you remove the binary header as the previous answer implied?

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions.
