SQL precompiler ignores directives?

["Goodbar, Loyd (AFS-Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a source member for /COPY of a subprocedure that look like this:

 /if defined (prototypes)
 d DateCheck pr
...
 /endif
 /if defined (procedures)
 d DateCheck b
 d DateCheck pi
...
 /endif

In my RPG (ILE) program, I have this:

 * Definitions
 /define prototypes
 /copy toolssrc/subproc,datecheck
 /undefine prototypes
... main program
 /define procedures
 /copy toolssrc/subproc,datecheck
 /undefine prototypes

This works very well until I tried out embedded SQL. When compiling a SQL
RPG program with defined /copy directives, I receive error SQL1106 (RPG
specification out of order). The SQL precomiler does not honor the /if
defined directives in copied source the same manner as the RPG compiler; it
copies the entire source at the /copy position. If I inline my subprocedure
source into the SQLRPGLE program, the precompiler works.

I can separate the /copy source into the prototype and procedure, but I have
many subprocedures using the above "unified" format. (I won't debate the
argument of using a service program; I have service programs coded in much
the same manner and will face the same problem.)

Has anyone else noticed this behavior? I looked through the APARs but didn't
see anything relevant. Running V4R5.

Also, is the only way to change compiler options now in the H spec, when
using the SQL precompiler? The SQL programming guide wasn't really clear.

Thanks,
Loyd
