Re: RPG/COBOL with embedded CL

[email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (James W Kilgore)]

Colin,

You've hit upon a programming "nerve" if you will.

You are correct in that QCMDEXC is not a clean solution and a CL wrapper
is just another source member to manage.

let me throw out a couple of choices:
1) make the call to a CL wrapper a /COPY member.  Debug once, use
everywhere.
2) whatever you are going to QCMDEXC, call whatever the command calls
instead.

If DLTF command calls DLTFCCP program, then from your program call
DLTFCCP directly.

Personally, option 2, by program call, API, or bound procedure might as
well be a /COPY interface.

In the structure of the AS/400, monolithic programming is not the model.
Component binding in the solution de jour.
