Solution: SQL/RPG 7.1 Cursor Consumption from one RPG pgm to another

Putting the SQL that creates the cursor into a sub-procedure within a Service Program written in RPG and then creating a SQL stored Proc to execute the particular sub-procedure allowed the caller to identify and consume the cursor.

Subject: SQL/RPG 7.1 Cursor Consumption from one RPG pgm to another

I am developing on 7.1 OS. I am experimenting with the 7.1 ability that allows a SQL cursor generated by a process to be consumed by a different RPG program.

I have succeeded in writing an RPG program that consume the cursor created by an SQL Stored Procedure written in SQL. But I have not been able to have an RPG program consume the cursor created by another RPG program. It does not appear to matter if the program that creates the cursor is executed as a stored procedure or an RPG program call of any type. The result is the same, I can't read the cursor if the cursor was created with a non-SQL stored procedure/process.

I can't find where this scenario is explicitly forbidden, so I figure I might be doing something wrong. Have any of you been able to do some testing along these lines?
