Correction:

2. We have encountered issues with retaining connection / prepared statements interacting with a few IBM commands, namely CPYTOIMPFF & CPYFRMIMPF which themselves use CLI under the covers.

We use the CLI from C.

I'm not totally sure what you're asking -- especially when you reference
ODBC (planning to connect to another system?) -- but I've used the SQL
CLI procedures quite a few times, and they seem to work well.

The only problem I keep running into is that only one program can be
using CLI at a time within a job. That can be a royal PITA if you are
coding modularly, where one procedure may be fetch from one SQL
statement, and then in a loop calling another modular routine that also
happens to use CLI. A little bit of caution is required to eliminate
that possibility.

But aside from that, they work great. Performance is about the same as
dynamic SQL called via the embedded SQL precompiler. It's not as fast
as static statements, though.

Hey guys,

I'm just curious to know is anyone is using the c procedures (in RPG) for
ODBC connections and the other SQL procedures.
I've got a great usage for these procedures, and have my beta running....
However, I'm new to these procedures
and am curious of any drawbacks, performance lags, etc, that may change my
mind. Or, (which I'm hoping), that this
is savior of truly dynamic SQL and I'm a fool for not using this in the
past. (haha)

Either way, I'd like to hear back from anyone with experience with these
procedures.

I add the "(in RPG)" statement in my first sentence so to make sure I stay
correct in the forums guidelines.
I did create a c-program to do what I wanted, but was able to duplicate
the whole process in RPG. (yeah).

Thanks in advance to any replies.
