Answer / yuvaevergreen
IN DCLGEN,
>>"INDICATOR VARS .. ===> NO" indicates the presence of
null variables for the fields in the tables.
>>indicator variable should be declared of type s9(4) comp.
77 DAY-IND PIC S9(4) BINARY.
Move -1 to the indicator variable and use in sql.
exec sql
insert into employee(name)
values(:ws-name:ws-name-ind)
end-exec;
ws-name-ind is the indicator variable which inserts null in
the field ws-name.
