Many of us here in IBM are within that choir.  We definitely
do know that something needs to be done, and as someone else
has already pointed out, improvements are in the works.

More bitching over the issue would not help, and may indeed be
counter-productive.

In the meantime, until the SQL Prep totally catches up with
RPG IV, perhaps we here in RPG Development should halt all
development of new features in the RPG IV language, and then
add new features in the future only if the SQL Prep can commit
to support them?
