Greets from a longtime lurker!

I've gotten some great knowledge from many of you in the past, and now it's
time to ask a question that's been troubling me.

I've got an F-20 running V3R1.  My main application is a S36 app that we
bought from a vendor.  It's my job to extend that application at times.

What I've been doing is (re)describing the data files in my RPG programs,
and wrapping the RPG in a CL program that does an OVRDBF command.  Also, I'm
using Query/400 a lot, and would like to see if SQL would have any
performance benefits, but SQL won't access the files. 

They are described with IDDU and Query/400 doesn't need to use any overrides
to get at them, so I'm wondering if there's any way to make RPG (400 or ILE
IV) and/or SQL use these descriptions ( to make the files External in RPG
for example instead of program described) ?

If I've left any thing out that would help you give me an answer, just let
me know and I'll add to the picture.

TIA
