RE: Source File Member Manipulation Question

Joe, 

You're right.  But even then someone will find out a way to screw up a 
perfectly good idea.  Like doing something as stupid as:

D myextds  ds    extname(outfile)
/free
 exec sql declare c1 cursor for select * from outfile;
 exec sql open c1;
 exec sql fetch c1 into :myextds;
// once again, if the outfile layout changes this program will bomb.

To fix this:

D myextds  ds    extname(outfile) QUALIFIED
/free
 exec sql declare c1 cursor for select THIS, THAT, THEOTHERTHING from 
outfile;
 exec sql open c1;
 exec sql fetch c1 into :myextds.THIS, :myextds.THAT, 
:myextds.THEOTHERTHING;
