Some in our shop are having problems with SQL report programs.

We are on V5.2

Our RPGLE printer files define output the fields. We simply assign values to
them and write them without defining them anywhere else.

When you have an externally defined print file in an SQL program with no
other field definition than the File output specs, WDSCI
says it is fine during verify.  When our precompiler gets the program, it
says the output fields are not defined. Adding A D spec line
for each output field it claims isn't defined is taking care of the issue
for us. We have programs that have compiled in the past and are
running that fetch into the output fields of the print file, but when we
make changes will not compile without defining more fields.

Is this behavior supposed to happen or is it something that was changed for
a productive reason we and WDSCI don't understand?

Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on it?

Dwight
