Re: Embedded SQL w/in an ILE RPG program utilizingsub-procedures

David,

You can use embedded SQL in sub-procedures.  I have done this many times in 
NOMAIN modules.  It has worked for me by declaring the supporting SQL 
structures such as SQLDA, return areas, and indicator areas globally in the 
main source section.  All required SQL statements  should be contained in the 
sub-procedures.  We are on V3R7.  There are some other limitations.  You cannot 
use long field names and local variables that have the same name as global 
variables will cause the compile to fail.  I think the SQL compiler is a step 
behind the regular ILE RPG compiler which causes some of these limitations

Does anyone know if you can imbed SQL into an ILE RPG program that
utilizes sub procedures... I am trying to do so and keep getting an
error that the RPG specification is out of order.  When I take the
sub-procedure out, it compiles fine, or if I take the SQL out and use
regular file I/O, it works fine.

Thanks,
Dave
