I've been working around this for a very long time by using literals or just loading the constant into a variable. I was just hoping there was a compiler setting I was missing.

Subject: Re: Embedded SQL & named constants
Justin asked:
Is it possible to use named constants as variables in embedded SQL statements? I've tried but never been able to make it work.
From the ILE RPG section of the Embedded SQL Programming manual (V7R3):
Declaring host variables in ILE RPG applications that use SQL ==================================================
The SQL ILE RPG precompiler only recognizes a subset of valid ILE RPG declarations as valid host variable declarations.
Most variables defined in ILE RPG can be used in SQL statements. A partial listing of variables that are not supported includes the following:

- Named constants
