RE: Running SQL command in a CLLE program

I agree with Dave: if you need to do any sort of database driven OS
operations, from clearing file members to mass compiles to varying off
devices to running reports, then REXX is a fantastic option.  You can set up
lists of libraries or users or whatever in a database file and then run SQL
statements against that file.  You can then use the results directly in
OS/400 (oops, i5/OS!) commands.

I suppose there are some performance considerations.  REXX is interpreted,
not compiled.  But then again, if it's for relatively long-running tasks
like compiles or reports, the overhead is minimal.

And to make clear... you can eliminate CLLE or any sort of CL all
together and use REXX instead, doing all you did in CL and more AND call
SQL or QM and more.
