Re: SQLRPG - prepare, declare, no cursor

That's what I ended up doing - prepare-declare cursor-open-fetch-close.

I'm not ready to compile and test yet - many more subroutines to
write, but i think this is the ticket.

it does seem like an awful lot of work though, doesn't it?

thanks for the help.
