Re: 5722ST1?



If you really aren't entitled to it, and you're finding no one is listening for 
your justification for purchase, then you could use SQL CLI.   It's basically 
like calling a bunch of api's instead of nice imbedded SQL.
As a matter of personal preference, although I haven't used SQL SLI since I had the embedded SQL available, I think I would rather get myself accustomed to using the SQL CLI. Disclaimer: I used embedded SQL since it was available and was a little more convenient. But I see two major advantages in using CLI, maybe more.
One is, there are limitations to the pre-compiler that you will not have with CLI, such as their ordering in the source member, and other considerations, even as they work on the pre-compiler.
Another is that getting accustomed to CLI will make easier coding for executing SQL for remote databases.
Another is, that the source will compile and work as long as you have the RPG compiler, so you don't need no stinkin' 5722ST1! :)
Another is, I think, that CLI is an SQL standard, whereas embedded SQL is not. 

Could I get corroboration for these points?
