I've started using PCML more because I hate defining the stored
procedure. I do agree that SQL stored procedures are more flexible and
platform-independent, but since at this point I only create programs
that will be calling IBM i programs it hasn't affected me. I think you
can even call service programs with PCML, so that's a bonus.

I do wish however that PCML had better date support. The data handling
is one nice thing about SQL stored procedures.

Just for my edification, what is/are the use case(s) for PCML vs. SQL
stored procedures?  I've never seen the need to use PCML and don't know why
I ever would use it.  SQL stored procedures seem to be more flexible and
platform-independent.
