LEVEL OF SQL INTERFACE TO USE . *AUTO *CISC, *EMBED, *CLI, *AUTO
You can change the default SQL INTERFACE from *CLI to *EMBED. This will use the embedded SQL interface in replacement of *CLI.
The *CLI interface is more powerful but using *EMBED can help solving issues that are encountered by *CLI interface. The *CISC interface is obsolete and is no longer included in latest versions of Easycom.
The *EMBED interface limitations are: cannot use LOB fields, or SQL procedures. However, in some cases it is fastest than CLI.
In fact, the *EMBED is the old - historical – interface, and *CLI is the one. Only the *CLI interface will have future improvements.
