The SET OPTION statement must be physically the first SQL Statement in your
source code.
It is only used at compile time for retrieving compile and run options.
SET OPTION is never executed!
In other Programming languages include SQL itself, all DECLARE statement
must be coded at the beginning of the source within the DECLARE SECTION.
In RPG there is only a single rule: The DECLARE Statement must be physically
coded BEFORE the OPEN statement, independent in which sequence they are
executed.

Betreff: RE: SQL DECLARE CURSOR preference
Thanks guys:
Charles and Vern, I'm thinking "SET OPTION has to be the first SQL
statement" will be satisfied by either 1) first SQL in *Inzsr or 2) first
SQL following D specs/Declares.
I'm leaning toward *Inzsr mainly because I think it "looks better" when
using /Free.
Buck, I agree with all your points: I'm really talking about my "standards"
but I spend serious time trying to make my code easy to read and maintain so
I took extra time this week to update my "standards" or perhaps "work
habits".
