Rolf,

The DDS vs SQL argument is 100% independent of the SQL precompiler.  Once
a file is declared, how you process it is independent.  For example I can
define a file with DDS and process it with a native rpg program or an
embedded SQL rpg program.  Likewise I can define a file with SQL and
process it with a native rpg program or an embedded sql rpg program.  The
programs don't give a rip which data definition language was used.  Heck,
I could have used IDDU for all that matters.

The above should not be construed as tilted, one way or the other, based
on the authors personal preference of a data definition language.  Just
there to keep the debates separate.

this first would be ok if the other issue did not exist. If the
precompiler would
process RpgIV and support _all_ RpgIV SQL would be ok. for the time
being it's definitely not as everyone knows who's trying to do serious
development
with the RpgIV / SQL combo.

that's my top issue
