I strongly suggest that the original poster try the dynamic SQL before throwing it out as a poor performer. It may run pitifully slow too, but you just don't know until you try.
What performs badly on my machine with my dataset may scream on yours, and vice versa. SQL is very unlike traditional RPG I/O because of the optimiser, which makes sweeping statements about SQL performance problematic at best.
