FYI - you can call procedures within service programs using SQL stored
procedures.

I've started using PCML more because I hate defining the stored
procedure. I do agree that SQL stored procedures are more flexible and
platform-independent, but since at this point I only create programs
that will be calling IBM i programs it hasn't affected me. I think you
can even call service programs with PCML, so that's a bonus.
I do wish however that PCML had better date support. The data handling
is one nice thing about SQL stored procedures.

I ever would use it. SQL stored procedures seem to be more flexible and
platform-independent.
