I'm reading the Modernizing iSeries Application Data Access redbook
because I want to learn how to, as recently mentioned in WEB400-L "
...separate the screen I/O and application control logic, from the
business rules and database I/O,...".

This redbook seems to be a good guide for doing so, and has good
description of converting DDS to DDL, and creating I/O modules to access
SQL objects via stored procedures. We recently acquired a web based tool
that supports stored procedures for accessing our modules and prototyped
stuff but most of those objects are married to traditional RPG stuff and
aren't designed for use as services.

But the thought just occurred to me that this redbook doesn't mention
anything resembling an SQL based data dictionary. Is there such a thing? A
repository of some sorts? I've been an advocate of field reference files
and we currently don't have one in my shop. Are FRF's still a good thing
or have they been replaced with another methodology? Is there an SQL
equivalent?

Thanks!

Regards, Jerry
