Thanks. It didn't work - syntax....but I may have entered it wrong. I'll try again in the morning.

Try:

STRQMQRY QMQRY(TRSFDD/TX_OVRPQ1X) ALWQRYDFN(*YES) SETVAR((INNEG &INNeg)
(INPOS &INPos) (INPARCEL (&APOST *CAT &PARCEL *CAT &APOST)))

Also, see:

http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/146.html

BTW, your approach with &INPARCEL looks ok to me... perhaps length should be
14?

Subject: QMQRY single vs double quotes/num vs char

I've looked through the archives and don't see anything that matches exactly
my problem. I can get numeric data passed to the query - but, for some dumb
reason, the character field not happening.

Calling the query manager interactively works:

STRQMQRY QMQRY(TRSFDD/TX_OVRPQ1X) ALWQRYDFN(*YES) SETVAR((INNEG 24.90)
(INPOS 24.90) (INPARCEL '''B018001304'''))

But am having difficulty with the parms in a CL

DCL VAR(&PARCEL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&INPARCEL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(12)

DCL VAR(&APOST) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('''')
CHGVAR VAR(&INNeg) VALUE(&APOST *CAT &NegAmt +
*CAT &APOST)
CHGVAR VAR(&INPos ) VALUE(&APOST *CAT &PosAmt *CAT +
&APOST)
CHGVAR VAR(&INParcel ) VALUE(&APOST *CAT &Parcel *CAT +
&APOST)

This does not work because I need more quotes around the character field
(parcel).
I've tried several different ways to get it to work to no avail.
Tried these among others: /* CHGVAR VAR(&INPARCEL) VALUE(&PARCEL)
*/ including adding a zillion quotes.

Thanks for your help.
