The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
On the prompt, whatever you type is put into the SQL statement, including
the apostrophes. In a SETVAR, it takes whatever is BETWEEN the apostrophes.
When you use a SETVAR, you need to "quote" the apostrophes. So, use
STRQMQRY QMQRY(ROUTINES/SYSDOWNQM1) SETVAR((PROMPTDATE '''2003-05-01'''))
See an appendix (I think) in the Query Management Programming manual for
more info - not the Query Manager manual.
BTW, in CL with STRQMQRY, I usually have a variable
DCL &APOST *CHAR 1 ''''
and *CAT it to the start, *CAT or *TCAT to the end of what need to be
strings in the statement.
Also, don't put apostrophes around you substitution variables - it is no
longer handled as a variable but as real text.

Trying to run STRQMQRY from the command line and not a CL.
The QMQRY looks like:
...
WHERE DTDATE >= DATE(&PROMPTDATE)
...
where DTDATE is a date field.
If I do a STRQMQRY QMQRY(ROUTINES/SYSDOWNQM1)
and just type in '2003-05-01' when prompted it works.
However if I try
STRQMQRY QMQRY(ROUTINES/SYSDOWNQM1) SETVAR((PROMPTDATE '2003-05-01'))
it pulls in all dates.
