RE: syspackage

on the As/400, a package is what is created when a program with imbedded SQL
calls is compiled.
All programs, RPG, C, Cobol, Jave etc.  create a package to store the SQL
security, execution instructions, etc in.  It is physically a separate
object from the program object.
Some software/hardware platforms require you to create a program, then the
package that contains the SQL calls.  The AS/400 creates the packages
automatically whenever a program with SQL instructions in it is compiled.
Optionally there is an AS/400 command (CRTSQLPKG) that will look at a
compiled program object and generate a package.
