RE: new IBM RUNSQL command

IBM is only the biggest if you don't count Google, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, Yahoo, etc, etc, and all the other organizations that touch the IT world.

Don't get me wrong IBM is doing a great thing here, but it could come back to bite them if stuff starts to abend all over the place, as SQL is so widely used in iseries shops.

You can if you're the biggest.

I second your concerns!!
I made similar, although not as eloquent, comments on the article.

When you come late to the party should you be able to set the theme?

Thanks for the great article Bruce!
One question - hundreds of custom RUNSQL type commands have been custom-built at hundreds of iseries shops over the years.
These commands are used in production.
How can shops ensure old CL runs will continue to call their home-grown RUNSQL command (instead of the new IBM RUNSQL command?)
This will surely cause havoc in many shop, as parm names will not match and abends will occur in production jobs, some without source (for packages, etc).
