1 - Please change your subject line. One reason I do not read in Digest
form.

fair enough. not sure what the subject is. on a related note, would
be great if people on this list would trim their email responses. in
gmail it is a hassle to scroll thru pages of garbage.

2 - Some of your concerns are not related to the languages team. It's the
database team, out of Rochester, that writes the precompiler. I assume
you are noting a lack of the imbedded sql not being able to read a result
set. And, not talking about using SQL-CLI (which can) in RPG.
What happened when you submitted a DCR at:
https://www-912.ibm.com/r_dir/ReqDesChange.nsf/Request_for_Design_Change?OpenForm

I asked Jim Herring in a recent iSociety chat if v6r1 would have long
object name support. he answered that was a good idea, but would wait
for Common to suggest it. I thought that was a dodge of an answer.
Couple that with the news that Hans, very smart, highly trained and
experienced, commited to the platform was given crap assignments and
quit his job. I see a dcr as a waste of time.
