A cursor defines a record set, correct?
I'm not using SQL CLI.
To simply, this is what my RPG program does this:
1) Uses 'connect to' to connect to remote database
2) Dynamically prepares an SQL statement to select records from the remote
table
3) Uses the dynamic SQL to open a cursor over the remote table
4) Uses Fetch to fetch a rows from the cursor into a externally-defined data
structure
5) Uses the fields from this data structure to populate a data structure
defined over a local file
6) WRITES a record to the local file.
7) Loops (steps 4-6) until all rows from the cursor are processed
8) Disconnects from the remote database

Over on the MIDRANGE-L list it was noted that RPG can consume a result
set without resorting to SQL CLI.
The scenario is: a central system fires off stored procedures on
multiple remote systems (most not IBM i) and consumes the result sets in
order to aggregate the many systems into one unified database.
I don't know how to consume those result sets in RPG. Does anyone have
a manual page I can read to educate myself?
