To me this seems like it will end up being a confusing mess. If this is common code I would put into a procedure in a service program and have all the programs use the service program. It seems much cleaner solution and if you ever have to change this common code it is easy to do with a service program without having to recompile every program that uses the /include.

Subject: Multiple INCLUDE statements in SQLRPGLE
I'm trying to stack multiple INCLUDE's to generate static SQL. The goal is to move common code out of the application source and into copy books for ease of development and maintenance. I have a need to include a JOIN in some cases, and while I could simply have two versions of a single consolidated copy book (one with the join and one without), that solution doesn't appeal to me.
This is the first copy book:
EXEC SQL
SELECT cmcust INTO :cmcust FROM arp001
and this is the second:
WHERE cmstat = 'A'
and this is the third:
AND CMCLS = 'R'
...and there will be additional selections.
Here's what the code might look like:
/include qcpysrc,testcopy1
JOIN arp002 ON cmcust = nmcust
/include qcpysrc,testcopy2
/include qcpysrc,testcopy3
and cmcls = 'R' and nmtype = '2';
The source out of the preprocessor includes an /END-FREE and the compiler tags the "-" in column 11 as an error even when the source member includes a /FREE in it. The first SQL line isn't terminated so the preprocessor is likely not looking for an /END-FREE.
Position 11 Token - was not valid. Valid tokens: FOR USE
When I've added a /FREE statement to these source members, the error still appears. I've tried COPY as well; still getting errors in the preprocessor output. Using RPGPPOPT(*LVL2) and V7R3M0.
I'll be grateful for any ideas!
Stay safe and stay healthy.
