I think James wants to be able to write file-agnostic RPG syntax, an
admirable goal. As Paul points out, the closest you can get via RPG is if
the files have the same external format. Otherwise it's embedded SQL.

One other option - given that he is C literate is to write a simple C program that interfaces to RPG as a SPECIAL file. This would allow one generic program to be used with native RPG I/O operations.
