RE: Data Areas in RPG and QCMDEXC

I would suggest that it is worth considering the fact that the ILE environment 
permits you to eliminate calls to OPM programs such as Qcmdexc. Instead you can 
simply put the necessary code in a CL program and compile it as CLLE module 
instead of an executable program. The CLLE module can then be compiled into any 
application program using it's parameter list as standard interface. This 
option lets you take advantage of all the flexiblity the a CL program provides 
while benefiting from the performance offered by a bound call.

Subject: Data Areas in RPG and QCMDEXC


I run a CRTDTAARA command with QCMDEXC. I'm able to create the data area
with no problems. The thing I'm not sure about is will I be able to
access the data area from other RPG programs. How can I access a data
area in RPG if I don't define the data area first? The data area is
temporary and the name is a concatenation of the user name and job
number. If I need to I can simply use a CL program and I think I will be
ok, but I was just curious if it is possible in RPG.
