Hi Vern,
The only way now to use a stored procedure in an RPG program is to
use SQL/CLI - the call level interface - not necessarily for the
faint of heart, although I do use it in some of our stuff.
Heh... it's not "the only way". There are other ways! You could call
JDBC instead of CLI. Or you could launch the db2 QShell command via the
spawn() API, and read back it's results, etc.
CLI is just the "easiest" way, and performs the best.
I find it interesting that you say it's not for the feint-of-heart, yet,
CLI is the programming interface of ODBC, and is "the standard" for
writing apps that do database access! It goes to show how spoiled we
are in RPG, where embedded SQL is easy, and record-level I/O is easy.
Other languages all use CLI, or something very much like it (like JDBC)
any time they do database access.
