Something like SEQUEL that would give you the SQL query writer tool also
gives you the ability to e-mail spreadsheets and spool files direct from the
AS400.  We use it all the time to send overnight reports in Excel by e-mail
and also to e-mail customer/ purchase orders etc.  It also has a lot more
functions than query.  You can have a certain amount of logic and youcan
create tables similar to SQL pivot tables.

My account is getting ready to purchase some sort of IBM ISeries Query tool,
SQL tools, or both.  I have been asked to provide justification for
investment in the SQL tool over or in addition to Query.

Can you use SQL in a CL in the same fashion as query, such as to create a
file(Like OPNQRYF). I would think you can.  I am wondering if we can scrap
query all together in favor of SQL (RUNSQL). Right now we do not use SQL for
anything but transferring data, such as in Excel or Client Access, but
considering its industry presence, it seems like a no-brainer.   Please
submit to me your best arguments for using SQL, and if it can replace Query
completely and easily.

 Thanks in advance.
