I was wondering if someone has a better way of doing this.

Just some rhetorical questions. A better way? Define "better". Is this a pattern you're interested in applying to other applications? Or is this a one time application? I really don't know of a better way. I can think of alternative ways.

You could define the remote file as a DDM file and use CHAIN to fetch a record. You could use SQL CLI as an alternative to embedded SQL. You could evoke a Web service to return the data.

Perhaps "better" in this case is what you feel most comfortable with.

Nathan.
