Re: Best/ most elegant way to process this record

HI I have a field that is alpha, where it's 8 positions. The first 4
positions are a type of account and the 5th, is important this is for
the product group. In RPG I want to Setll to a master-file on which I
have a logical. The front-end screen to the user will also ask for the
Product group. I would thus like to use this as part of a processing
key.


I wanted to know if this is best to do this in RPG ILE or in SQL? Or
another method?


TIA,

Phil
