Hans, is it true that sooner or later we will only be able to open
certain files (with e.g. LOB's) with SQL only?

If that is true, and F-"cards" are going to leave us, a stronger
relationship with RPG and SQL, it's then one and only means of DB
access, would be a goal that one would want to achieve, or am i
completely off-track in the wilderness?

I believe it's already true today that if you code certain things in your SQL you can't open the table as an RPG file.

Cheers! Hans
