RE: security hole in interactive sql call statement?

>Oh, well, we would just have to take strsql away from programmer for
now.

How will you do that? I assume from your statements that you have two
machines (or at least 2 lpars) one for dev and one for production. On
your dev box do a WRKRDBDIRE command and define a remote database for
production, call it, say, "PRODUCTION" for lack of a better name. 

Then, ON THE DEV BOX, start sql. In STRSQL issue the following:

CONNECT TO PRODUCTION
CALL QCMDEXC("AnyCommandWithOutAScreen", 0000000999.00000)

And see what happens. I would _guess_ that this is cought as a remote
database request, same as ODBC, but I don't know, since it's iSeries to
iSeries. 

Locking down production isn't always as easy as it appears.
