Interesting. I suppose one caveat is that these are procedure parameters defined like template data structure subfields. Are you doing that as well?

Thanks,

It was at V6R1. I do it all the time

Does anyone know if we can expect the SQL pre-compiler to be updated
any time soon to allow for the use of variables that have been defined
like a variable/DS that has the Template keyword specified? We use
the Template keyword a lot. Most of our file encapsulated service
programs include a template of the file in the copybook that the
service program uses for defining pretty much all variables related to
the file (and for prototypes, which is why it's in the copybook).

I'm taking a stab at creating a file encapsulated service program
using SQL instead of native I/O and quickly discovered that the SQL
pre-compiler is not a fan of templates.

I'm at IBM i 6.1.
