Re: embedded SQL inside /FREE group yet? (v5r3)

Dan,

I think you're right.  No doubt, I DO like the V5R4 enhancements. However, 
being able to do a loop without a before read and a read within the loop 
(or in the sql vernacular a before loop fetch and a fetch within the loop) 
is rather nice.

If OpenCursor();
Dow FetchCursor();
  // your logic here
EndDo;

And the details as to whether or not FetchCursor() died because it simply 
ran to the end of the cursor, or if something bizarre happened (like no 
one put logic in OpenCursor if the open didn't work) can be down in that 
subprocedure and not cluttering up your mainline.  I have even got into 
the habit of doing this for read loops in traditional RPG I/O.
