RE: Query/400 outfile as input into RPG -- RPG400-L

Sorry, Andrew...

I don't have time to get in a long "SQL vs. DDS Wars" thread..  but I beg to
differ...

ESPECIALLY in this particular case, where all that's needed to solve the
problem is a half-line of code.  (In a language that most everybody knows
already.)

| Actually - SQL/400 is a neat way around this - no DDS - no specs - just
| create the Datastructure you want, and perform the selection using the
| SQL embedded in the RPG, then put the results into your fields... quite
| elegant!
