The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I originally used and learnt SQL from MySQL and not the iSeries where it
is basically drilled in that any use of '*' is a bit of a no-no and that
has become a habit of mine. Not using '*' protects your code from any
added fields/changes in the order of fields in the underlying database
etc. This probably falls pretty squarely on the personal preference side
of things but you will probably find that outside the iSeries world any
use of '*' is frowned upon.

This is the general case for use of embedded SQL in any host language on any system.
There are many instances where developers on the i are considered "special". This, I believe, is not one of them.
