RE: CALLPRC & CRTBNDCL

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I really don't understand this insistence on not using CL for what it is 
good for - running commands. One problem with QCMDEXC is that it does not 
log things the same way as running a command in CL does. Another is, you 
have no prompting when writing the code.

Basic principle - use each language for what it is good for. CL is best for 
doing commands - it does stand for "Command Language" after all - and RPG 
is best for database processing and display/printing. Don't try to make CL 
into a database machine, and don't make RPG do overrides.

In the world of ILE, write the separate modules in whatever language is 
appropriate, then link them into one program. CL is also an ILE language.
