Not well, but for C programs, I prefer UIM or the user defined API

Minimum release level?  Gotta have the toolkit, 5xxxSQ1.  If the command
STRSQL is on your system, you got it.

Getting started?  The examples in the SQL programming guide are a
start.  If you understand SQL syntax, then the programming is a snap. 
If not, then spend some quality time in the STRSQL command with the
SELECT verb.
