Gee, I code RPG, I've used SQL in my RPG. I didn't have a gun pointed to
my head telling me to do so.
Any others?

Please respond to
MIDRANGE-L
Native RPG access to DB2/400 is the issue. You will never convince me that
a
SQLRPGLE program is the way any RPG programmer would be the choice to
access
DB2.

David,
What's the problem here? OPNQRYF not receiving the latest updates? Good
riddance to bad rubbish, I say. SQL is _FAR_ more intuitive...
