2009/4/30 Burns, Bryan <Bryan_Burns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
At the end of every month, I change the record selection date range in 15 or so queries to reflect the current month in order to get month-end totals.  Is there a way to automate this?  Of course, the files to be queried may be different so the date fields will not always be the same.

Hi Bryan

We have a date file with just one record holding various date & period
values. That's updated at a fixed time each day. Users join to that
file in their queries to select the date range they need and after
that the queries can run without intervention. I've not seen a way of
automating changes to queries, and you can't even prompt WRKQRY with a
query name as it doesn't take any parameters.
