Is it just me ... or does anyone else find the fact that the V5R3 API
finder (in the info center) contains SQL commands kind of annoying
(http://s.midrange.com/v5r3sqlapi or
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/topic/apis/databa
se6.htm).

IMO, SQL commands are *NOT* API's ... they are language constructs.

Not just you - that is very odd indeed! Then why aren't the COBOL INSPECT
and RPG EVAL instructions documented here? Discrimination, that's why! :)
