Re: distributed SQL calling RPGLE on a remote box

I am using SQL 'connect to' to connect to other System i's, and I need
to call an RPGLE program on the remote boxes, before I issue queries. I
am looking for a method I can use between /Exec SQL - /End-Exec.
Distributed SQL docs say "CALL" should work, and I found an archive
email from Charles Wilt that said you don't need a stored procedure to
do it either... but I can't seem to get it to work yet.
If anyone could share a code example, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Jeff:

A likely problem would be matching data types of any prams that need to be passed. If there are none, then that's not a problem. Post the SQL CALL statement and it should be easy to spot what needs changing.

If there is no need to retrieve returned values from prams, it generally isn't required to register a program as a stored procedure; you can simply CALL it.
