Rick,
I don't think SQL will let you do this in a simple statement. Probably takes an SQL procedure to do this, but don't really know. However, since you're using QM Query, you're in luck. Just do this as a select, connecting to the remote database. Then to run, use STRQMQRY OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(LIB/FILEOUT) OUTMBR(*FIRST *REPLACE) to save the result set to your local file. The sql executes on the remote box, and returns results only.

Hey all,
is it possible for SQL to be connected to a local and a remote RDB dir entry?
I will be using Query manager.
for instance:
CONNECT remoteRDB
insert into localfile select * from remotefile where fld = something
If not, any other brilliant ideas are most welcome.
i don't have the sql product on this box, so SQLRPGLE is out of the question.
The file is huge, so DDM is probably out of the question - I just want a small subset of the data extracted from the remote file. That's why I'd like to use SQL, it runs a ton faster than CPYF.
Thanks!
Rick
