And for some silly reason the sql people believe they have all their ducks 
in a row on V5R3 and actually expand /include.  Amazing that they would do 
so when the only purpose behind /include was to get around sql 
limitations.  What is the compiler team going to do when/if sql issues on 
/include start appearing?  Create a /getthesob?

Re: Converting to ILE






Uh....  Correct me if I'm wrong (I've been wrong once this year), but
isn't the only difference between /COPY and /INCLUDE _other than_ it
taking three extra keystrokes... that it avoids being processed by the
SQL pre-processor?  ...

So... you must do alot of SQL pre-processing?
