  • Subject: SQLRPGLE question
  • From: tomh@xxxxxxxxx

I had opportunity last week to write - from scratch! - my first SQL RPGLE
program.  What a godsend that we can use embedded SQL.

What it does: uses the 'C' SystemCmd function to run the DSPFD command to
build a file containing the member list of a certain multi-member PF.  Then
it uses the SystemCmd function to do an OVRDBF to open each member in the
file.  Then using SQL I read each record in the member.

I do not know beforehand what the members are in the multi-member file.
I'd like to use the SQL 'ALIAS' command to do the override instead of using
the OVRDBF.  So... how do I use the SQL 'ALIAS' command with a variable
member name?
