Re: the RPG problem - adrift in the PC-web wind

  True.  But to suggest so seems overly optimistic IMO, if a generally 
meaningful and functional outcome is meant to be implied; i.e. given the 
limitations on what can actually be achieved.

  Consider...

  Setup:
   create table qtemp/pddata (a char(3), d dec(3), s numeric(3)) ;
   insert into  qtemp/pddata (s) values(-15),(-11),(0),(11),(15) ;
   update qtemp/pddata set d=s, a=s ;
   crtpf qtemp/pgmdesc rcdlen(8)
   cpyf qtemp/pddata qtemp/pgmdesc fmtopt(*nochk) mbropt(*add)
        frommbr(*first) tombr(*first)

  Using qtemp/pgmdesc as the program described file with data...

  Now create the LF to describe the data in that "flat file":
   create view ... from qtemp/pgmdesc) ; -- fails with -7008 rc7
   crtlf /* what DDS-LF source can give a worthwhile external
            description using the PFILE(QTEMP/PGMDESC) ?  */
