RE: X-Spec (was: "RPG isn't cool")

How well does imbedded SQL work with device files?

But, I will admit that I have not tried it with database files.  What 
is the minimum release level needed? (I currently target V3R1).  How 
do I get started?

Well, yeah, IF you use the record IO stuff.  But I use it without any
problems with imbedded SQL.  Works just fine.
