IBM wants to get all of us using the SQL capabilities and the SQE engine so this might be the perfect thing to do that. Have IBM buy the code from Vern and add it to the base RPG compiler.

Subject: Future Of DB2 Modernization
Knowing that Vern Hamberg hangs here, I'm interested in asking about the ITJUNGLE article that he was just featured in:
http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh072516-story02.html
The article indicates that Vern employed an OAR wrapper paired with SQL I/O to enable legacy RPG programs to work with a FIELDPROC based encryption solution.
My question is whether SQL I/O was required, or if the problem could have been solved with an OAR wrapper paired with RLA I/O?
It may seem redundant to wrap RLA in OAR, but the article implies that SQL was required to fix some ambiguous problem pertaining to FIELDPROC encryption.
With regards,
Nathan.
