Re: SQL pre-compiler & the new Template keyword

wrote:

Does anyone know if we can expect the SQL pre-compiler to be updated any
time soon to allow for the use of variables that have been defined like a
variable/DS that has the Template keyword specified? We use the Template
keyword a lot. Most of our file encapsulated service programs include a
template of the file in the copybook that the service program uses for
defining pretty much all variables related to the file (and for prototypes,
which is why it's in the copybook).

I'm taking a stab at creating a file encapsulated service program using SQL
instead of native I/O and quickly discovered that the SQL pre-compiler is
not a fan of templates.

I'm at IBM i 6.1.
