Just because I am curious, and have some scenario based opinions on the
matter, why are you looking to externalize your DB IO from RPG? Or rather,
what are your ROI points given the work required to write the code?

Hi,

Does anyone have some code that they could post for externalizing file i/o
operations ?

I've had my first go at this and although it works I'm not fully happy with
it.

To replace an RPG CHAIN operation, my program does something like IF NOT
ReadFile ( ), and the function ReadFile will do a CHAIN.

However in replacing a loop like

SETLL File

DOU %eof

READ File

ENDDO

I use another function that uses an SQL cursor. I realise that this last
function could also do the same as the ReadFile ( ) , but should I replace a
simple CHAIN by SQL?
