My belief is that adding columns will make no difference to SQLRPGLE using SELECT * via static SQL.

An interesting thought, Justin - the evidence of the I-specs that the pre-compiler adds suggests you are right.
Now that also suggests to me that, if one uses SELECT *, then, if columns are added, they will not be seen - no I-spec for the new columns.
Or is this just a Monday-morning fancy I'm going through?
Cheers
Vern

Unless I'm mistaken, the pre-compiler resolves the SELECT * at compile-time, so the result is the same as explicitly listing the columns.
