To do this, I have defined 'QRPGSRC' as a file in my program in exactly the same way as any normal data file. I've used the OVRDBF command to point at a specific member before calling my program. My program compiles cleanly, but when I run the program I get an error of the form, 'Undefined record type is found in file QRPGSRC'. Is there something extra I need to do to allow a source file member to be read by an RPG program?" >> CLICK here to participate in this discussion thread: http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.ee84636/4014 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CALLING A DB2 SQL STORED PROCEDURE | Kent Milligan, DB2 advice Dear Kent, I need to call a DB2 SQL stored procedure with one in parameter from a CL program.

Cultural differences can be deal breakers. One Indian software exec has set up a finishing school of sorts for his countrymen to teach them how to dress, dine, communicate and mingle in the U.S. and Europe without "sticking out like a sore thumb." Students pay anywhere from $250 to $900 for the classes. One student says the school, in Bangalore, India, is filling a real need. "When we nod our heads, they do not know whether it is a yes or no," he said. "I do not want to be in that category."
