This statement leads me to believe that you have not used RPG native DB
access. Have you? With RPG, SQL can enhance native DB access, but it is
definitely not a replacement.

>Not true about SQL being slower access than RPG.
SQL works great for result sets but I would have a hard time believing that
single record SQL access is as fast as RPG native DB access.  Maybe things
have changed and my brain data is old though.

Not true about SQL being slower access than RPG.   But the bigger
picture is if the platform is to compete seriously in the market place
against other DBMS platforms it is imperative those using legacy programming
languages (RPG, CL, etc.) move to using mainstream languages
(SQL for sure) and programming methodologies.

Explain the easier comment for accessing DB2 ?  CGIDEV uses native RPG
Database IO that in my opinion is faster and easier and gives you more
control that other methods like SQL.

I see PHP as a form of DDS-5250 replacement...
(yes, it is so much more...)  I see that PHP pushes And pulls from the DB2
database so much easier than CGIDEV.
