See the following articles (by me) in NEWS/400 (www.news400.com):

"New! SQL/400 Implements Stored Procedures" -- April 1998
"Inside an SQL Stored Procedure" -- July 1999
"Produce Result Sets from SQL Stored Procedures" -- (to be published) --
October 1999

I will also be covering this topic in my forthcoming SQL/400 book from 29th
Street Press, which will be out later this year.

I put the Create Procedure statement in a source member with SQL as the type
(you can uses anything), and use RUNSQLSTM to run the statment (which
generates the C code, runs the C precompiler, and compiles the C program).
