The question boils down to "Why do you care - if you are using SQL?"
1 - Never use "select *". Always select the individual columns when
imbedding SQL.
2 - If you use an externally defined data structure you should be ok with
a recompile. Like
fetch mycol1, mycol2 into :myExtDs.mycol1, :myExtDs.mycol2 ...
Now, you just have to figure out the reference on externally defined data
structures. Do they show up on DSPPGMREF?
