Re: Database I/O Modernization

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see where it shields you form record format changes.  Looks like it's just using a pointer to a DS for the data.  

To quote Creedence Clearwater..  I see trouble on the way.
     
Funny how we thought (original) free form was pretty modern - until you see it like this nowadays....  Thank you Barbara Morris & friends for **free - I'll never look back.

Alan, if I understand correctly, you object specifically to the use of RPG
op codes. But what about the procedure interface implemented in the service
program?

If the RPG op codes were replaced with SQL, would the procedure interface
meet with your approval?
