CALLPROC(proc_name)

 

Parameter Descriptions

proc_name  -  The name of a mapping procedure (PROC) that was previously created using the CREATE PROC command.

Example

Assume that there are two (2) PROCs that contain different mapping logic based on the contents of a status (STATUS) in the source datastore records. These PROCs are defined as follows:

CREATE PROC MAP_CASE1 AS SELECT

{

   TARGET_FIELD1 = SOURCE_FIELD1

   TARGET_FIELD2 = SOURCE_FIELD2

}

FROM <source_datastore>;

 

CREATE PROC MAP_CASE2 AS SELECT

{

   TARGET_FIELD1 = SOURCE_FIELD1 + SOURCE_FIELD3

   TARGET_FIELD2 = ,ADD(SOURCE_FIELD2, SOURCE_FIELD4)

}

FROM CDCIN;

 

In the main SELECT subcommand, check the STATUS field in the source datastore.  If the STATUS field is 'AAA' then call PROC MAP_CASE1 otherwise, call PROC MAP_CASE2 as shown below.

SELECT

{

   IF  STATUS = 'AAAA'

   {

       CALLPROC(MAP_CASE1)

   }

   ELSE

   {

       CALLPROC(MAP_CASE2)

   }

 

FROM CDCIN;
