Hello Folks,
I am new to esql and I request help with the below line of code -
SET inAmount = ROUND((CAST(SUBSTRING(ref.body1 FROM 31 FOR 10) AS DECIMAL)/100), 2);
The SUBSTRING is coming as 2555 and it needs to get converted to 25.55. The current code converts it to 26.
inAmount will also contain decimal vaule an it is not sending it. I tried a couple of castings but did not work.
In the stored proc to the external oracle DB it is define as NUMBER:
CREATE PROCEDURE AddValue(IN inAmount INTEGER)LANGUAGE DATABASE
EXTERNAL NAME "TEST"; |

How is inAmount defined in ESQL?
Why do you want it as a decimal when the stored procedure has inAmount (which I'm assuming you're passing) as a integer?
For diagnostic & training purposes, break down the ESQL statement. Take the substring, cast it and so forth all in separate statements. See where it goes wrong.

Thanks Vitor, issue resolved, changed the data type to Decimal all through, in the code and in the procedure and it worked. Oracle datatype NUMBER takes both integer and decimal values.
SET inAmount = CAST(SUBSTRING(reftoBody.body_elem1 FROM 31 FOR 10)AS DECIMAL)/100; |

I don't see where you're using NUMBER.

I also don't see how this varies from your previous ESQL. But as long as you have it working.
