RE: distributed SQL calling RPGLE on a remote box

This is what I used in my test application for remote program calls vie SQL....

C/Exec SQL
C+ Connect to XYZ01
C/End-Exec
C
C/Exec SQL
C+ CALL TESTED/METAPHONE (:$Input, :$Output)
C/End-Exec
C
C/Exec SQL
C+ DISCONNECT CURRENT
C/End-Exec

Worked like a champ...

Subject: distributed SQL calling RPGLE on a remote box


I've scanned the archives, and google, and am having trouble finding
answers or examples.

I am using SQL 'connect to' to connect to other System i's, and I need
to call an RPGLE program on the remote boxes, before I issue queries. I
am looking for a method I can use between /Exec SQL - /End-Exec.

Distributed SQL docs say "CALL" should work, and I found an archive
email from Charles Wilt that said you don't need a stored procedure to
do it either... but I can't seem to get it to work yet.

If anyone could share a code example, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jeff
