Re: Can I do this in Query

Vern,

Sorry for the late reply.

In QMQRY:
Not really, you can indicate BREAKx (where x  is 1 to 9, indicating the 
breaking level) or OMIT. I would try to OVRPRTF the SPLF of QMQRY a liitle 
smaller than the report length and place the Token field at the end. It may 
then produce two SPLF's,and the last one can be removed. (Default page width is 
80)

QMQRY is part of the SQL Development kit. If it is installed it is on his 
system.

We do not have Query/400 on our system, unfortunately. So from memory lane:
You can tell the field to be field 0 in the result set and it will not print, 
but it might be used as a break level field at the same time.

It is possible to turn a QRYDFN (Query/400) into a QMQRY object with RTVQMQY 
QRYDFN(*YES) and CRTQMQRY using a source file. A form can also be created with 
a source file, but that is very trickyand obscure. Midrange Computing had an 
article on it, see www.mcpressonline.com.

Otherwise, if the field is on the page, let them ignore it.

Carel Teijgeler
