Thanks, Vern. I didn't mean to imply I didn't know SQL; I meant the only
graphical tool I'm aware of to use iSeries SQL was Navigator. The command
line certainly is my friend. :)

I actually prefer STRSQL on the iSeries for learning SQL and trying things
out. It will give you results faster, in my experience. F4 is your friend
here, as well as on the command line. The drawback is, it has not kept up
with some of the modern additions to SQL on iSeries. E.g., it does not
prompt for JOIN syntax, although it will process it. You CAN create stored
procedures in it, so it's not too bad.

When creating SPs, BTW, be sure to use VARCHARs, not CHARs - literals are
passed as VARCHARs and will not match is the parameter is a CHAR.
