RE: SQL Existence Check

You're right, Frank, the ISAM/SQL conversation has run its course. (For now
<grin>).

> *** Tell me something. I heard JAVA uses UCS-2 and doubles disk req.

Yes and no.  Definitely Java internally uses Unicode.  However, it is
perfectly capable of writing to ASCII stream files, or to any relational
database through JDBC.  It can also communicate via native I/O to the
AS/400.  In any event, the data on disk need not be stored in Unicode.
However, if you serialize objects (a fancy word for writing them to disk),
the default is to store all character data in Unicode.

These are usually not pertinent questions in my development environment,
since I use Java solely for UI middleware, and don't directly access the
database.  I communicate using EBCDIC messages in data queues to RPG
programs which actually do the database access.
