Re: SQL in CL.

["rick baird" <rick.baird@xxxxxxxxx>]

no imbedded sql.

you could run your SQL statement via runsqlstm, or some variation of
the EXCSQL utility (written by Martin Rowe - download his tools from
dbg400.net ), to create a new table with the result set, and then open
and read the file via the normal CL i/o commands.

but you can't do imbedded sql in CL the way RPG does where you can
fetch directly into CL variables.
