Subject: RE: SQL Update in RPGLE.

???  RPG doesn't have an access path?  If you can SETLL and READE right
away on a Logical file, you can get faster processing time when SQL
"may"
need to create a new access path.  I've had RPG programs run faster than
SQL and SQL programs that have run faster than RPG.  The slower SQL
programs are usually because the SQL couldn't find a suitable access
path
and created a new one on the fly.

Not really.  When you consider that when RPG doesn't have an access
path, it has to read every record.

SQL _might_ have to do the same thing.  But the advantage SQL has over
RPG is that SQL can build a new access path on the fly from multiple
existing access paths.
