Query/400. The problem is not the tools. It is not the users. It is in the developers. Developers need to create powerful views. What use is it to give the users some slick GUI tool and still expect them to know that you join ECL on ECH and IIM and, to calculate on hand you need to take IOPB+IADJ+IRCT-IISS? When you can create a view that: - joins these files together - Calculates these simple fields like onhand - renames fields into something meaningful ... We still have users that upload data from their PC's to the i5 so that they can analyze it using Query/400. Frankly, it's a great tool. Now, a user like me prefers SQL so that I can use parenthesis, etc. But for a quick and dirty I may fall into query/400 the way some of you may bypass WDSC into SEU for a quick and dirty. Rob Berendt
