SQLRPG Question (as Survey for AS/400 Developers (ISERIES) DB2/400)

[Kaynor@xxxxxxx]

I'm not very knowledgeable about SQLRPG and I'm curious--my cohorts who use 
it say that SQLRPG programs must be recompiled over the exact datafiles they 
will be run against.  

Can someone explain to me why, and whether there is a way to compile an 
SQLRPG program so that it can safely use unqualified file names?  I'd like to 
be able to change the library list to run these programs over a different 
(e.g. Test) data library!

We have not used SQLRPGLE.

Apologies if this is an old topic, and thanks in advance for any insights....
