Do you want to use RPG?  Just compile your program as usual, do a CREATE 
PROCEDURE to add it to the catalog and CALL it from either SQL or another 
AS/400 program.  About the only things you'll need to know are how to 
declare the variables in RPG to match the SQL datatype:

RPG     SQL
4B 0    Small Int
9B 0    Int
7P 2    Decimal(7,2)
1A      Char(1)

Paul Conte wrote several articles on using RPG as a stored procedure in the 
April and May 1996 issues of News/400 magazine.  I don't know if they have 
the articles posted on their web site, but you may be able to order 
reprints: http://www.news400.com
