Question about Extended Services Embedded SQL

I'm trying to get an application working under OS/2 2.0 with Extended 
Services 1.0.  It is written in MSC 6.00A, and uses Embedded SQL statements
to get at the ES SQL database.  It precompiled, compiled, linked, and ran
successfully under OS/2 EE 1.3, but I'm having problems getting it to link
under 2.0 and ES 1.0. 

The problem is that the library file SQL_STAT.LIB is nowhere to be found.  In
1.3, it was in \SQLLIB along with SQL_DYN.LIB.  SQL_DYN is in ES 1.0, but 
SQL_STAT is not.  If I take it out of the link command, I get unresolved
externals to _sqlestpd and _sqlestrd.  Also, despite the 35 pounds of 
documentation that came with ES 1.0, the Database Manasger Programming Guide
and Reference is not among them, and must be purchased separately.  

According to the ES 1.3 DM Prog Guide & Ref, there are "up to four" libraries
that must be linked:  sql_dyn.lib, sql_stat.lib, upm.lib, and dsqci.lib.  Only
sql_dyn.lib and dsqci.lib appear to be in ES 1.0.

Does anyone know what the scoop is with this?

Thanks in advance, Steve Forrette, stevef@wrq.com
