RE: RPG and SQL Compilers

[Jon.Paris@xxxxxx]

 >> Right you are!  Compile any SQL RPG program and ask for the listing.
You'll see the final results of the pre-compiler's work there

Not really - you won't see the "compiled" SQL code that does the real work.
Can't remember exactly where it is stored, in the program's associated
space probably.  There is no way you can write your own pre-compiler - you
could write something to generate the same RPG code as the pre-compiler
does but that wouldn't do anything 'cos all the bits under the covers would
be missing.  You could generate calls to the SQL CLI APIs (see the
ubiquitous redbook for examples) but I doubt that it would be as efficient.

Your efforts would be better spent filling in reader comment cards for the
SQL manuals and telling them the current situation needs fixing!
