Ok Thanks Barbara.

I would have been willing to bet lunch on you being the one who posted it.

All,

I (think) I remember seeing a post from Barbara a few

months ago that

said something to the effect that you shouldn't have variable names
that begin with SQL when writing embedded SQL programs.

Something about SQLxxx names being reserved for IBM use.

I can't find the message now. Did anybody else happen to

save a link

to it?

Or perhaps Barbara wouldn't mind restating the facts?

Charles, I don't recall posting that. Maybe it was Birgitta or Gina?

Ah, I found something in the info center:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rz
ajp/rzajprpiamco.htm
"Do not use host variable names or external entry names that
begin with the characters SQ, SQL, RDI, or DSN. These names
are reserved for the database manager."
