RE: SQLRPG - Fetch Into a record format?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Wise advice grasshopper.  And use SQLSTT, not SQLCOD.  SQLCOD is kind of 
deprecated.

As Rob pointed out earlier, one decided difference between SQL and RPG
native access is that native uses an exception model but SQL uses a return
code model for errors.  That is, if things go casters-up, native will 
throw
an exception and kill the program (think library list, authority failure,
allocated file, etc.)  With SQL you, the programmer MUST check the return
code (SQLCOD or SQLSTT) to determine if your operation was a success.

My advice is to check SQLSTT after every SQL operation.
