And you're going to play heck trying to find some IBM supplied SQL service
to get a list of stream files.

May I suggest a DCR submitted through
https://www-912.ibm.com/r_dir/ReqDesChange.nsf/Request_for_Design_Change?OpenForm

If you're interested in rolling your own I could whip up a presentation on
evolution which goes something like:
- Converting a subroutine into a subprocedure.
- Moving the subprocedure externally into a service program
- Creating a SQL UDF based on that subprocedure
- Embedding that UDF into a SQL view

Then if someone could take Scott Klements' API wrappers for stream files
and figure out a way to put those into a view, or a UDTF, that would be
really cool!
