Embedded SQL problem

 >> hello. VR1 OF VENDR1 is a stupid sentence?

I'm assuming that you mean "unnecessary" not "stupid".  It isn't "stupid" if
you consider that the original problem statement said that there will be
_other_ definitions of VR1 in the program.  The simplified version you are
commenting on was just to prove that the precompiler couldn't handle the
qualification even when it wasn't needed.  The original code had a second
structure in it like so:

       01 VENDR2.
          03  VR1.
            05  VNID   PIC X(6).
            05  VNNAME PIC X(30).

That is why qualification is required.  There are a thousand work arounds I
can use but darn it - it should work anyway!
