I looked, as well - have used CLI in some of our products.

I see only consumption of result sets in the CLI manual.

Yes, but I did not see an explicit prohibition on returning result sets. Lots of vague implications that an open cursor can be processed by another application.

Now there IS the SET RESULT SETS statement - not sure what would happen with that - there are some statements about the use of that. CLI is also described as always dynamic.

Can't use that in CLI.

Now the SQL Reference does say, if a cursor is left open, then you automagically have a result set - not sure if this applies if you open a cursor with CLI. You do have all those handles you are supposed to close!!!

That's essentially the base of my ideas. What if you named a cursor and left it open and ran in a named activation group. Something like CLI stored procedure in named activation group creates a named cursor and returns leaving the cursor open. JDBC connexion invokes stored procedure then attempts to process result set? Next step would be to try from two CLI programs.
