You can try STRQM. I don't use this very often but it sounds kind of
like it would work for you. Once you're in there you do an F19 to
change the Query Creation Mode to SQL. Then paste in your select
statement. Then save it and take an option 9 and it gives you the
choice to run interactive or batch and send to outfile, printer, or on
the display.

Subject: Way to get STRSQL SELECT to run in batch?

I do a lot of one-timer SQLs, some for testing before embedding in an
application, some for data interrogation to determine problems.

Some of the SELECT queries I do, run for hours. Of course, RUNSQLSTM
doesn't support SELECT, otherwise I'd use that to submit to batch.

The one that I have running now is set up to send output to a data file
(F13=Services, 1.Change session attributes, SELECT output: 3=File).

I suppose the way to do this is to create the output table with the
fields
specified in the SELECT, then submit to batch a RUNSQLSTM with the same
query, but prefaced with a "INSERT INTO xxxxxxxxxx (" It seems to me
that
this would give the same results. Any disagreement there?

But what a PITA! First, I have to manually create the output table,
then I
have to put the query in a source member for the RUNSQLSTM, and then
submit
the RUNSQLSTM. There's gotta be an easier way.

FWIW, here's the query that's now in its third hour:
select DISTINCT CVCVCD, CVCVLC, CVDEDC, count(*)
from cvgdetl, cusdetl_DE
where CVCUSN = cdCUSN
and CVRENN = cdRENN
and CVSEQN = cdSEQN
and cdstat = 'DE'
group by CVCVCD, CVCVLC, CVDEDC

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
