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. Thanks JIM !

I think you missed what we really want (from the first post - a tool to
regenerate queries after a file change). 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..'

  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.

  Sweet Jim,

  At least I can pull together a list of files used in what queries and if
  they can tell us what files are changing, we can just concentrate on
  those.
  Better than redoing ALL of them :-)

  But you do REALLY WISH IBM would come up with some way of doing this...

  Thanks !

  Chuck
