Re: SQL vs DDS

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good point there.  Perhaps they could find a way to integrate SQL with 
the system database catalog.  You know, all that info that started showing 
up in those QADB* files.  These are the files that make doing a DSPFFD 
into a file obsolete.  But then again we might break down into another 
argument about whether or not to always call the field INVOICE# in all 
files, and use the PREFIX keyword if necessary,  or name it something 
different in every file.

Rob

While you were going Gung Ho for SQL file creations,   How did you do that
REFFLD thing again?   So you only had ONE definition of (say) invoice 
number on your box???   SQL does that real nice huh?
