Just to make you aware, there is a green screen version of this already.
We created SQL iQuery back in 2016 and it does just what you want. But can also produce results in XLS, CSV, JSON, and PDF along with the green screen subfile list. sqliquery.com
Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. After evaluating and prioritizing this request, we cannot deliver your requested enhancement in the near future, so it is being declined. However, we understand the value of this request, so it will be added to an internal list for future consideration.
IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.
We will consider adding a new parameter to the command line for the rss plugin which only shows the result set.
Attachment (Description): SQL result set screen only
The /plugin=rss solution brings up the "sql entry" screen. I only want to bring up the "result set" screen for the end-user. The end user should not be able to even see the sql statement. Maybe an extra parameter for this plugin can help? I will attach a screenshot where you can see what I would like to have.
IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) provides the ability to use Run SQL Scripts from the command line. See GettingStarted section 9.1.31 (ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/products/clientaccess/solutions/GettingStarted_en.html#9.1.31).
For example:
C:\Users\YourUserID\IBM\ClientSolutions\Start_Programs\Windows_x86-64\acslaunch_win-64.exe /plugin=rss /system=LP77UT22 /sql="select * from qiws.qcustcdt" /autorun=1
RPG has the ability to call a PC command. Here is an example of RPG calling a PC command: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1014847
You should be able to substitute the "start C:a.pdf" in the above RPG example with a call similar to the above /plugin=rss command.
Does that meet your requirement?
Rdi already does but only with sqlrpgle source type members. The feature should be open to any source member type. I store sql in various source files like ddl.
