Do you keep your DDS source only in QTEMP?  Probably not.
Do you keep your SQL source for RUNSQLSTM only in QTEMP?  Probably not.
Was that your question?

The rest of the visibility is the same with DSPFFD, etc.

The thing that RUNSQLSTM brings to the table is a single store for things
that DDS cannot store in the same member.  Things like:
adding of constraints
implicit journalling
and the list goes on

The ONLY advantage DDS has over SQL is the ability to combine an index with
a view.  Or, in DDS terms, the ability to create a logical file with field
and/or record selection and a key.  However this is only an advantage in
traditional I/O.  In SQL I/O you would read the 'view' or the file with the
field and/or record selection.  And the optimizer would use the appropriate
'index' to find the best key.

That I definitely do not understand - why define the tables with SQL
when DDS works?  With SQL defined tables, don't you lose some of the
visibility of the definition itself - namely the DDS?

A tangential argument is defining data with SQL versus DDS.
