RE: Passing Parameters to Query -- missed it

["Chapman, Colin" <Colin.Chapman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know of any way to pass parms to Query/400 when you are using
this parm :

LOG LIKE '%QPADEV%'

I am doing a search of the System Log and am looking for chars QPADEV on any
line - it works fine except the only way I can run it is for the Query to
Pop up - then the user has to fill in 
the details between the % signs.

IBM has written a nice little paper about the subject "Passing Parameters
to a query"

Click the link below
http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/$searchform?Open&vie
w=wall
In the search field write :

Passing Parameters to a Query/400 Query

The basic idea of the solution is in the select statement to write in the
Select part:


DATE GE :FROMDAT

// Yes the : has to be there

Save the query as normal i.e. a QRYDFN object.

Run the Query with STRQMQRY and ALWQRYDFN(*YES) and set the variables in
SETVAR

I.e. in the above case:

StrQmQry QmQRy(yourlib/yourqry) AlwQryDfn(*YES)
QmForm(*QMQRY) SetVar((FROMDAT 19991122))
