Re: RPG and SQL Compilers

["Bob Slaney" <rjslaney@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank, your question is confusing. There is no SQL RPG compiler. You must
mean the SQL PREcompiler,

Have you used the SQL Precompiler? The object type SQLRPGLE tells PDM that
when you use option 14, you want the SQL preprocessor to look for embedded
SQL statements. These statements make no sense at all to RPG, so, the
precompiler comments them out and converts them to parms and CALLs to
database I/O routines.

As far as the future of RPG is concerned, I don't understand your remark.
Have you read George Farr's NEWS/400 article dated November 2000? Have you
seen Hans Boldt's RPG ballot on this forum?

If RPG is scheduled to die a slow death, no one has said so, and, I think
that if RPG ever dies, it will happen years after you and I are in a
position where it is of no concern to us.
