  We have created small RPG program to prompt for the values required
and validate them as needed, then writes the selections to a one record
DB file.  The query is  written to link this file as the primary file so
you end up getting only records that match to it.

  Potential problems occur if the file gets changed by a second
submission of the query before the first one completes.  You cannot
place the file in QTEMP if you are running the query in Batch.  Second
problem is if you are already at max for number of files in the Query.
