RPG has all the control features, extended data types and language
interfaces that you're complaining that CL doesn't have.  That's why you
learn RPG.  Each tool does its job.  CL is primarily a wrapper to invoke
commands and other programs, not to write business logic.

But I'm not going to argue the obvious; I really just wanted to point
out that these folks may not be the most iSeries savvy.  Any time
invested writing commands to use CL to execute and process SQL
statements was wasted, because all of those features are available in
REXX.  And if you know CL syntax, you already know REXX.
