OK, got it.

As I see it, the prompter does not support a lot of things (at least on
V5R3). Try to do a CREATE TABLE AS, or a CTE. Total failure. In fact, even
the iSeries Nav wizard (mine is V5R4) isn't very good either (try to do a
complex join).

Thanks for the explanation.

It still doesn't support ansi joins and that would be so simple to add.

Excuse my ignorance but, how do ANSI joins differ from DB2's?
I thought that DB2, from V5R4 (IIRC) was 100% ANSI compatible...



Luis -

I think what Alan really intended to say is that the /prompter/ in STRSQL
does not support ANSI joins. However, if you know the correct syntax you
can type in the ANSI query and run it within STRSQL...
