RE: Request for CL, DDS, SQL RPG enhancements

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I *definitely* need more than one file in CLP.  That is the main reason,
IMO, to just forget about CLP and write it in RPG.  Otherwise I wind up with
3 CLPs calling each other because I need 3 files open.

Better CLP File I/O would be nice too.  (readp, setll type calls).

Am I upset with DDS .vs. SQL?  I use DDS to define files, I *never* use SQL.
When you can only do something in SQL in a file definition it leaves me out
of the loop.

Yes, file update in CLP would be *great*.

I haven't use much embedded SQL in CLP so couldn't say.

Regards,

Jim Langston

  Some items to get things started:

-  Are you upset w/ the direction IBM has taken regarding DDS vs. SQL?
-  Do you need more than one file defined in CLP?
-  Do you need to be able to update files within CLP?
-  Are you fighting w/ embedded SQL, due to precompiler restrictions?
