Hi John,

Presumably there are one or more API calls that simulate "SET RESULT
SETS" but my inexperience is showing as I cannot put all the pieces together.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to use 'SET RESULT SETS' unless you use the embedded SQL compiler. The CLI reference explicitly states that CLI can't be used to return a result set, and the SQL Reference manual states that the 'SET RESULT SETS' statement can only be embedded into an application program.

Your alternatives:

a) Use parameters instead of result sets to return information.
b) Scrap the SQL idea and use web services, instead.

I wish I had better news for you...
