Stored procedures are a valuable tool for improving performance in distributed and networked environments. In addition, they can be used to improve the flexibility and design of your applications. External stored procedures also allow you to reuse your existing iSeries programs and programming skills for stored procedure development.

In this session, learn:
1. How to create and use external stored procedures with any host language (RPG, COBOL, C/ C++, Java, etc.).
2. How to handle error conditions for external stored procedures.
3. How to move external stored procedures from development to production.
4. How to return and process stored procedure result sets.
