Issue/Introduction

We are tyring to call a stored procedure on DB2 (mainframe) through Datamaker Data Painter and are getting an error. 

This is the stored procedure 
@execsqlproc(PSSMOM,SPUDM01U,TBLNM,IN,'CLUBVNLS01',OLDKEYZN,IN,'Z15220',ULTRATCD,OUT,0,PMTR1,OUT,0,PMTR2,OUT,0,PMTR3,OUT,0,PMTR4,OUT,0,PMTR5,OUT,0,PMTR6,OUT,0,PMTR7,OUT,0,PMTR8,OUT,0,PMTR9,OUT,0,PMTR10,OUT,0,PMTR1)@ 
and it is producing this error:

Cause

First problem resolved by appending the schema name (MNFMTEST.SPUDM01U) 

Query Used - @execsqlproc(PSSMOM,SPUDM01U,TBLNM,IN,'CLUBVNLS01',OLDKEYZN,IN,'Z15220',ULTRATCD,OUT,0,PMTR1,OUT,0,PMTR2,OUT,0,PMTR3,OUT,0,PMTR4,OUT,0,PMTR5,OUT,0,PMTR6,OUT,0,PMTR7,OUT,0,PMTR8,OUT,0,PMTR9,OUT,0,PMTR10,OUT,0,PMTR1)@ 

Was altered to be: 

Query Used adding MNFMTEST: 
@execsqlproc(PSSMOM,MNFMTEST.SPUDM01U,TBLNM,IN,'CLUBVNLS01',OLDKEYZN,IN,'Z15220',ULTRATCD,OUT,0,PMTR1,OUT,0,PMTR2,OUT,0,PMTR3,OUT,0,PMTR4,OUT,0,PMTR5,OUT,0,PMTR6,OUT,0,PMTR7,OUT,0,PMTR8,OUT,0,PMTR9,OUT,0,PMTR10,OUT,0,PMTR1)@

This uncovered a hidden error:

"String too long Go back and edit the data." 

The stored procedure was returning data of type char(255) and the column where the sqlexecproc was running was of type char(6).

Resolution

The first error was that the schema name was not fully qualified by pre-pending MNFMTEST.  Once MNFMTEST was pre-pended, this resolved the query error message.  

This uncovered the next error - "String too long Go back and edit the data." 

To resolve this, the stored procedure was returning data of type char(255), and the column where the sqlexecproc was running was of type char(6). It was changed from 6 to a 600, saved, re-tested, and it worked.
