RE: Embedded SQL in CL

[Roger Boucher <RBoucher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may want to try a QMQRY.  Look into the commands CRTQMQRY and
STRQMQRY.  The will allow you to create an SQL statement in a source
member and compile it into an executable object which can be run from a
CL program.  Hope this helps in your situation.

That question has a very easy answer ... you don't.

SQL can only be embeded in a HLL that has the appropriate
pre-processor...
RPG, C, COBOL, etc, all have one... CL does not.

There are ways to execute a SQL statement in a CL ... but it's not the
same.

I know that ASC's Sequel product has a OPNSQLF (or something to that
effect) that is similar to OPNQRYF, but uses a SQL statement.
