I think this forum is appropriate for SOME Query questions, particularly related to BPCS files/fields identification, which query techniques most suitable, understanding inadequacies of tools vs. BPCS DB fundamentals, risk of dirty data, basically Gotchas when using Query to access BPCS data. Remember that BPCS-L includes non-technical people, some threads may need to go off-line.

If you plan to collect data in a field in a BPCS file, by whatever means, outside of BPCS... be very careful not to mess up BPCS in the process. Understand the role of your target fields before you change their contents.

I think Midrange-L more appropriate for theoretical how-to working with SQL/400, open-query-file joining, creating new index keys, logicals, getting embedded SQL cursors to work, handshake with Microsoft SQL server, ways to get our output into Excel.

There's other midrange.com forums.

Several magazines host forums (sometimes subscription required).
Some are Query specific ... SQL, open-query-file, Query/400..

Is this forum a good place for Query-related resources (i.e., how to linking files and use fields to collect data)?
Thanks
