Re: PROBLEM WITH OPNQRYF

*CAT is used to connect constants with any variable.

*BCAT inserts a blank between them (if your constants have the space
already, that's not needed).

*TCAT will truncate any spaces between the constant and the variable.

*AND GTDIV *EQ &DIV - is wrong - you must concat the constant:

'*AND GTDIV *EQ '
with
&DIV
with an *CAT -

like this:

'*AND GTDIV *EQ ' *CAT &DIV

   First off, I thought *CAT is used only for numeric variable.  &DIV is a
   one character field as is the GTDIV field in the file.

   Second, If I take out the lines with:

   *AND GTDIV *EQ &DIV

   the command runs fine.  As soon as I add the line, I get the CPF9899
   error.

   Third, how large can I make the &SEL variable to store the QRYSLT
   statement?  The statement in the actual program is really much larger.  I
   just stripped it down some for the forum.



   Here is the actual command WITHOUT the line I added.  This one works fine.
