If you save the Query definition, you should not have the named problem.
After saving it, just execute its definition.

Short of that, you could create a view (SQL) or an LF (DDS) that has only
the columns that you want.

These would be one-time efforts.

Subject:    Column stripping


Hello All,

Help Please.  I need to create a subset of a physical file with some of the
columns stripped off the physical. I need to do this dynamically without
using SQL . the OPNQRYF doesn't seem to be helpful in this respect.

When I use Query/400, the column selection is static. Everytime if you want
to change the column, you have to go into query and deselect those selected
columns and select the new one. How do I do this dynamically (on the
command
line) ?
