Phil, I looked at the CLI APIs several years ago, and I think they are far
more complex to use than embedded SQL.  You basically are writing all the
calls to the DB to perform everything from file declaration, file open,
etc. I cannot comment on performance. I would think that well written CLI
code will perform well. But, as I said, the coding is much simpler using
embedded SQL.

Even though I am very disappointed in the SQL Precompiler, I'll live with
it rather than write CLI calls.

In closing, I hope that I won't have to live with the current SQL
Precompiler any longer than necessary.

Maybe they want us to use the new support in RPG to
call java, and use jdbc.  :-)

The point of my question, though, is Does it buy me
anything to use the api's or is the result the same?
It looks like the api's actually could produce slower
performance.

Phil
