Well, with the exception of the varying string point ... I respond: WHY SHOULD IT BE ABLE TO? CL is a job control language, not an application development language. It's intended to control the environment that a program operates in, not implement application logic. Using the same arguments you've made, one could say that unix shell script and windows batch files should be able to directly instantiate and interact with Java objects (without needing to run the java command).

RPG cant use an SQL result set.

Sure it can ... that's what RPG SQL is all about.

All of this is the responsibility of the run time framework, which on
the AS400 is/should be ILE.

Well, as Hans (welcome back, btw) has pointed out ... ILE isn't a runtime environment. OS/400 is the runtime environment.
