RPG IV is the way to go -- I'd seriously consider
doing new work in this language rather than RPG400.
Once you use RPG IV, you'll never want to use RPG400
again!

Having said that, the way to include SQL in RPG400
is exactly the same as in RPG IV:

C/EXEC SQL 
C+ DECLARE DTLCSR CURSOR FOR 
C+    SELECT NAME, CITY, STATE, ZIP 
C+    FROM BUCK/MASTER 
C+    ORDER BY CITY, NAME 
C/END-EXEC 
 
C/EXEC SQL 
C+ OPEN DTLCSR 
C/END-EXEC 

C/EXEC SQL 
C+ WHENEVER NOT FOUND GO TO CLSDTL 
C/END-EXEC 

C           NXTDTL    TAG 
C/EXEC SQL 
C+ FETCH DTLCSR INTO :NAME, :CITY, :STATE, :ZIP 
C/END-EXEC 
C                     EXCPTPDTL 
C                     GOTO NXTDTL 

C           CLSDTL    TAG 
C/EXEC SQL 
C+ CLOSE DTLCSR 
C/END-EXEC 

For your first few tries, print the compiler listing.
It will show you the included SQL fields that you can
use.  The critical one (for debugging) is SQLCOD, but
you may find SQLERM, SQLERP, SQLERR and SQLSTT useful.
Check the DB2/400 SQL programmer's guide for details
on syntax, etc.
