Something you might want to check - the restrictions in STRQM are limited to creating & running QMQRYs to what the user is allowed, but only in the STRQM environment. This does not stop anyone from using STRQMQRY to run anything he/she or another person has created, and doing this outside of the STRQM environment. I mean, anyone can make a QMQRY with a couple substitution variables only

&A&B

and they can use the SETVAR of STRQMQRY to put in almost any SQL statement of up to 110 characters.

Also, I just put your call statement into a source member of, QQMQRYSRC and used CRTQMQRY. Even though I am limited to SELECT in STRQM on the time-share machine I've been using, this worked just fine.

So the so-called security control of STRQM is not what you want.

most programmers in our shop use STRSQL to do their query. We could have them use iSeries Access, but they would probably go with STRQM if STRSQL is not allowed.

How about the Run Sql Script utility in iSeries Navigator.
