I also seem to recall something from IBM about possible values > 0 in SQLCOD 
when there wasn't really an error giving a false failure in programs checking 
SQLCOD.  I doubt I could put my hands on it now but I remember it being around 
the V5R1 timeframe.  That's when I switched to SQLSTT.

For single record access, using SQL will dramatically slow the program down.

On the SQLCOD vs. SQLSTT blurb, the issue isn't cross platform portability. The 
real issue is that SQLSTT's are a standard and SQLCOD's aren't. SQLSTT's are 
very unlikely to change but SQLCOD's do change from time to time. The last time 
I'm aware of a change was in going from V4R5 to V5R1.
