Re: imbedded CL in RPG

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that this sample could have been prettied up.  For example:
C/CLEXEC
C+
C+     OVRPRTF   FILE(QSYSPRT)
C+               HOLD(*YES)
C+
C/ENDCLEXEC

Imbedded SQL can be prettied up.  I think that imbedded SQL is much, much, much 
more 
readable than OPNQRYF.

We probably won't see imbedded CL commands in RPG.  Code/400 limitation, 
(duck!).  
I've heard that command prompting for CL in Code/400 is kind of kludgy versus 
SEU.  
Does Code/400 support SQL prompting in imbedded RPG?

        C'mon mark  It's beautiful.   It's free format.     Look how
readible it is.  
        It's meaning literally leaps off the page to you.   The only thing
that could 
        make it better is to have about 1000 lines of this stuff all
together with no 
        blank lines or anything,  ya know,  Left Adjusted(compressed). 

        Hmm,  It would look like most CLP's I guess. <VBG>

        Ok, Ok,  I'm taking my tongue out of my cheek now.  
        It was just to easy/good to pass up.
