Re: Inconsistency with SQL in ACS vs RPG

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Daniel

You mention "...replacing constants with host variables..." - I believe 
you can enter host variables and parameter markers in RSS now, and it 
will prompt you for values. I say, I believe, because it seems I've 
actually done it. Nonetheless, if statements with such elements are 
pulled from RPG, say, using the tool in RDi, then that works.

So it could be a shorter cut, perhaps.
