Hey RPG folks,

In thinking about using RPG subprocedures and service programs for querying individual records and record sets, what would be the best way to call a subproc that returns a resultset and have it return the data to the calling program ?

For my discussion the calling program could be another Green Screen app or a web app.

What are my options for most universal DB access code re-use ?
-Return as data structure ?
-Return as JSON or XML packet ?
-Write to temp DB table ?
-What about actually returning the results object ?

I suppose just using copy books is an option to include at the code level on-the-fly.

Insight appreciated since I don't do as much RPG as I used to.

Thanks

Regards,
Richard Schoen
