Importance: High Uh, I think you might have one or two SQLRPGLE source members you might want to be able to compile..... Isn't that where the SQL pre-processor you love so much comes from? <???> Eric DeLong Sally Beauty Company MIS-Sr. Programmer/Analyst 940-898-7863 or ext. 1863 -----Original Message----- From: rob@dekko.com [mailto:rob@dekko.com] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 1:30 PM To: rpg400-l@midrange.com Cc: rchudb@us.ibm.com Subject: What is 5722ST1? What is 5722ST1? On my system it says it is DB2 Query Manager and SQL Development Kit for AS/400. And what does that NOT compose? On machines without it I still have: -RUNSQLSTM -STRQMQRY -Interactive SQL via Operations Navigator. -Externally defined files. -BLOBS, datalinks, etc -Stored procedures -User Defined Functions. -etc. So what does shelling out the money for 5722ST1 give me? -STRSQL. Very basic prompting. Extremely limited as far as joins, etc. Many commands are not supported for prompting, but can be typed in manually. I suspect that this won't have a lot of new features added to it. The latest rage is Op's Nav. -STRQM. Not a bad product. Has more features than Query/400. Just a teensy bit less user friendly. You actually could build your QMQRY's using your favorite editor and the CRTQMQRY command which comes packaged with SS1. -The SQL precompiler. An alternative would be using the SQL CLI's. I've done a little research into this, and I'd rather have a decent precompiler. In summary, what are they doing with the money generated from the purchase of 5722ST1? Granted, shareholders and whatnot deserve a chunk, but some should be going back into R&D. - Are they enhancing STRSQL? I don't think so. - Are they enhancing STRQM? Has anyone seen evidence of that? - Are they improving the precompiler? At least not for the last several releases. - Are they putting it into DB2 for the iSeries as a whole? If it is the last, then shouldn't they just include the functions of 5722ST1 with the base operating system?
