That'd probably work, but, as I say in another reply here, OPNQRYF's syntax
can handle this situation, since you can name members in the list of files
(FILE parameter) and you can use what amount to aliases (numbers) in the
other parameters.

I mean, the oft-maligned OPNQRYF (by me and others) is a very powerful
tool. It's just SOOOOO blame hard to learn at first—extremely
non-intuitive, IMHO. I like SQL a lot beter—nice plain English syntax.
