Ok. I've got it. I just wanted to be sure I did understand what the tool was. It's good tool that I will use most certainly.

These tools, QRYUSE and something like my simple tool only identify where a file or field is used. Unfortunately, after large scale file changes, we end up opening WRKQRY and bring each query up, one by one, option 2 to edit, f3 to save,..... It takes hours and hours.. A tool or api would have to have good error checking, because it is possible the file changes applied will cause some queries to have errors. What we really want is a "compile" command for queries. This point & click is so 'last century..' jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Schnee" <DSchnee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 11:28 AM Subject: Re: BIG Query Question
Chuck, Jim: There is a TAATOOL named "QRYUSE" that "provides commands to capture and display the files used in a Query. Both Query/400 (*QRYDFN) and Query Management (*QMQRY) objects types are supported." So, if you have the tools (see http://www.taatool.com) you can get what you want without an IBM API.

Better than redoing ALL of them :-) But you do REALLY WISH IBM would come up with some way of doing this... Thanks !
