Generating the Text of the Routine

After you create an SPL routine, it is stored in the sysprocbody system catalog table. The sysprocbody system catalog table contains the executable routine, as well as its text.

To retrieve the text of the routine, select the data column from the sysprocbody system catalog table. The datakey column for a text entry has the code T.

The SELECT statement in Figure 465 reads the text of the SPL routine read_address.

SELECT data FROM informix.sysprocbody
   WHERE datakey = 'T'                   -- find text lines
   AND procid = 
      ( SELECT procid
      FROM informix.sysprocedures
      WHERE informix.sysprocedures.procname =
         'read_address' )
