Walden,

I generally work in sites that have a mixture of old & new stuff. So
having to do something as trivial (to me) as a select statement for a specific
member in a file, which is very AS400/iSeries specific, I think should be a
part of every "iSeries" sql book.... it's not... One book mentioned you can
read members, but gave no example... There are many other examples I
could give.
In some books, trying to do more than a single file selection is not
explained - examples are "Hello World" kind of cr*p - too simplistic
for a working programmer.

Jim,

Are you speaking of basic SQL stuff, or basic stuff about integrating
SQL w/RPG or Cobol? If it's basic SQL stuff (select, where, join, group
by etc.) have you considered that SQL is a standard, especially with the
basic stuff, and just about any book on SQL (iSeries specific or not)
will get you what you need?
