Mark, Here is a sample of passing parms to a query, while not exactly like
your example you will be able to figure out what you need:

                                                         */
 PGM        PARM(&CAGE)
 DCLF       FILE(HGR0093/LMTD605PF5)
 DCL        VAR(&CAGE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(5)
 DCL        VAR(&Q) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('''')
 DCL        VAR(&VAR1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(7)
.
.
.
 CHGVAR     VAR(&VAR1) VALUE(&Q || &CAGE || &Q)
.
.
.
STRQMQRY   QMQRY(HGR0093/LMTD605QM5) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) +
             QMFORM(*SYSDFT) +
             OUTFILE(HGR0093/LMTD605PF5) +
             OUTMBR(*FIRST *REPLACE) DATETIME(*NO) +
             PAGNBR(*NO) NAMING(*SYS) SETVAR((VAR1 &VAR1))
.
.
.
LOOP:        RCVF       RCDFMT(LMTD605PF5)
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0864) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(NODATA))

             CHGVAR     VAR(&CVT) VALUE(&DT_OE00001)
             CHGVAR     VAR(&FLD) VALUE(&CAGE_00001 || &DE_LI00001 +
                          || &CVT)

             CALL       PGM(QSNDDTAQ) PARM(&DQ &LIB &LEN &FLD)
             GOTO       CMDLBL(LOOP)

 NODATA:     ENDPGM

Is there a way to pass a parm(date) to the query page heading when writing
a query to a spoolfile.  We have numerous queries that need to be date
corrected each month.   I know about the &date, but is the a way to print
'start date - stop date'.   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
