Dave,
Perhaps you just want to use an F-spec to get the definitions of all the fields in the file or table or view ... you could use the PREFIX keyword to specify a prefix such as 'hv' (for "host variable").
Specify USROPN on that F-spec, as you do not want RPG to open the file, since you plan to use SQL versus "native" I/O ...
So, you now have "host variables" defined for each field or column in the file or table or view, so you can specify ":hvNAME" for example, where "NAME" is a name in the table or file you used in the F-spec.
Does that help?

OK I’m on 7.3 now and I still don’t know how to define a host variable
without hard coding it.
Any advice ?
Thanks
