EGL - Multi-row Insert and Fetch of SQL rows

DB2 V9 offers the capability of RowSet positioning. Essentially for performance reasons it would be nice to include this functionnality in EGL and not having to do develop an externaly defined COBOL program.

    We hope EGL supports this functionality as soon as possible. Also it is really required to able use this functionality with 'open' and 'get next' statements with no need to an array.

    It will be very useful if existing sources with 'open' and 'get next' statements works with multi row fetching by setting only 'rowsetsize' property of sqlrecord variable.

    Thank you for this input. We agree that EGL should take advantage of this function in DB2. This enhancement is a candidate for implementation in our next release.
