what can I say? I know the system pretty well, but always welcome
more information.

It is one thing to require the customer to pay extra for a compiler
that integrates SQL with RPG. But to prevent customers from rolling
something on their own, the underlying API used to access the database
engine is hidden. And worse still, the pre compiler APIs, which have
the potential of creating new languages on the system, are crippled in
terms of what can be retrieved and stored in the associated space of
the program.

If you're going to work around embedded sql you have to go whole hog and
learn SQL CLI.  There is stuff in between the precompiler listing and

the

compiler listing.  IOW - it doesn't show it all to you.

the CLI code I have written was run by the system in a separate job.
Which was slow and cumbersome.  I don't know if it did this because my
code was retrieving a result set or there was a parm setting I had
wrong.   I have never understood why the SQL pre compiler does not
emit CLI calls instead of SQLROUTE.
