RE: if defined syntax in sql rpg?

["Bob Cozzi \(RPGIV\)" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

No. It doesn't work like that, AND, compiler directives cannot be used
in program code to condition things. That is if you /DEFINE DEBUG, you
cannot use an IF  DEBUG   statement in the calc specs, only /IF
DEFINED(DEBUG) would work. Those variables are processed by the
preprocessor and are not part of the program itself.
