Re: SQLRPGLE (was External file reads into DS's)

John,
Speaking of SQL, is it just me or does the SQLRPGLE precompiler not
understand RPGLE.  I've had great difficulty with it not understanding
compiler directives, local variables in procedures, thinking D-specs in
procedures are out-of-order, burping if subroutines are not arranged in
precisely the order in which they are called, etc.

Who's in charge of the precompiler development?  Must not be Toronto.
