Ah.  Well, I advocate for having all the state in the QZCRSRVS job, and 
it's purely opinion as to which is best.  As long as you're not imposing 
a restriction of statelessness, then it's up to the designer where the 
satte should be kept.  Me, I like it with my business logic, on the 
server, in the QZRCSRVS job.

Again, we're arguing the same thing.  If you are allowing stateful 
connections, then it doesn't matter to me how you do it.  I prefer 
business logic, you prefer resultsets.  Since it's fundamentally the 
same architecture, which is best depends on the application.
