RE: Passing params to a Query

  
  
 Mike

Try the following;

You need to define a query management query 

You can put a parameter into query, then run it using query manager. 

The query will not run with the normal options

In the query definition prefix the variables with  a colon (:)

AND/OR  Field             Test   Value
        COMPNO            EQ     :COMPANY
 AND    CONTRACT          EQ     :CONO
 AND    PERIOD            EQ     '02'

This then puts you onto a second screen - point the query back to
itself.

Specify Dependent Value Qualifiers

Type choices, press Enter.

  Qualifier type . . . .   1              1=Query, 2=File

  Query or file  . . . .   SLCORPQ1       Name, F4 for list of files
    Library  . . . . . .     UCRPJBAP3    Name, *LIBL, F4 for list

  For choice 2=File:
    File member  . . . .                  Name, *FIRST, F4 for list

Then in the CL that runs the query - 

OVRPRTF    FILE(QPQXPRTF) PAGESIZE(*N 132)

STRQMQRY   QMQRY(TOOLS/MTHAUDIT) OUTPUT(*PRINT) +
             QMFORM(*QMQRY) ALWQRYDFN(*ONLY) +
             SETVAR((COMPANY &CO) (CONTRACT &CONO))

I cannot recall if this is possible or not. I would like the user to
select the data range. This is about all that ever changes for an
Unconfirmed Orders report.

Thanks,
