 >> Anyway, my opinion again.

Remember that the example I supplied exists so that it can be converted for
SQL usage.  It is a teaching example only.  Since SQL is best in a
set-at-a-time situation it makes sense to return a result set.

I personally think that returning a set of results makes sense within my RPG
code too - e.g. for subfile filling.  Why would I want to force the using
procedure to perform multiple calls?  However I would use a DS array - not a
MODS.
