It's a pain, isn't it?  The precompiler is simply too primitive to support
all the things that the RPG compiler can do.  Don't blame Toronto; the
precompiler is apparently owned by somebody else (the database folks?)
Enough griping...

David Morris made a suggestion some time ago that I am just starting to
implement (as my code becomes more sophisticated <cough>.)  Isolate all the
SQL stuff in a separate service program.  Make it so generic that you don't
need precompiler/compiler directives, etc.  Bind that service program to
your mainline (is there a better name for "the program that uses the
services of a service program?) and then the RPG-only mainline can use all
the tools available without being hampered by the SQL precompiler.
