Hi Buzz

I don't think there is a CL equivalent to SQLRPG, but there are a few 
options for running SQL from a CL. As long as you have Query Manager (the 
existance of STRQMQRY & CRTQMQRY commands should show that) you can use 
the RUNSQLSTM command to run an existing SQL statement held in a source 
member. An alternative is to use a third party tool that accepts an 
ad-hoc SQL request as a command parameter. There are a few of them around 
including my own EXCSQL (see the Extras section on my home page - see 
.sig below) that do this fine. It supports output (if any) to screen, 
report or *OUTFILE.
