Hi Charles,

In my experience, most of the stored procedures written in RPG are actually set up as "CONTAINS SQL". That's because they tend to be older code that's being preserved, and called from other languages (such as Java or PHP) via the stored procedure interface.

Since they're older RPG programs, they don't use SQL themselves, except for the retrofitted "SET RESULT SETS" that someone added. Since SET RESULT SETS requires the "contains sql" level, that's what they're coded with...

Obviously, YMMV.

Craig,

I guess that 99% of stored procedures are either READS SQL DATA or
MODIFIES SQL DATA.

However, there always that 1%.

Plus, it's not uncommon for user defined functions to be NO SQL or CONTAINS SQL.

HTH,
Charles
