Tim,

To do this you need to create an EXTERNAL stored procedure in SQL RPG. This
is just an SQL RPG program (optionally using native IO commands) which is
fronted by a SQL CREATE PROCEDURE statement.The RPG returns a declared
multi-occur data structure as the result set.

For a good RPG ref check the red book 'stored procedures and triggers'.

The only problem I have with this is that it seems that you are forced to
declare the result set size ie. no of data structure occurances at compile
time. Fortunately, my result sets are small! However, I seem to remember a
previous discussion on dynamically allocating size or perhaps not??

Cheers,

Keith
