RE: SQL cursor declaration in RPG 400 program

Oh, I see. I hadn't noticed that it was old RPG so you get the point. But
SQL has always allowed lower/upper case interchangeably (constants
notwithstanding). I believe that's part of the language specification.

Well, take any RPG (not RPGLE) or SQLRPG (not SQLRPGLE) source; change
anything that is not between quotes to lower case and try to compile.

The RPG IV compiler accepts lower and upper case (it translates to
upper
case). I assumed (wrongfully) that the mixed case names that were
accepted
by the precompiler, might have been a problem for the RPG III compiler.

Maybe you were trying to be funny, but if not.... Sir, I challenge

you
to

show me any difference that demonstrates some sort of "difficulty"

for
the

compiler.
