He wants a dynamic header based on a generic SELECT statement - there is no form source file for the *SYSDFT form, is there? He wants to have some header text to put in the *SYSDFT form.

OK - so are you saying to create the source for the form? QMFORM source is not for the faint of heart, although I've not tried one with just the header line in it. Maybe can be done that way.

Hmm - you have to use RTVQMFORM to get the form source. Since there's no form to retrieve from - ???

The input to the form is just a text file that you can retrieve (RTVQMQRY)
so there is nothing to keep you from writing the text member and just
putting your own headers into the text. The time to create the form is
sub-second. Create the report, retrieve the text and write out with your own
headers and do a CRTQMQRY.

True enough - better than nothing but not much! Not much choice when he
wants a dynamic page heading - unless some IBMer here has a secret
technique for specifying that heading - maybe in a message description
or something!!

Yes, but Dean wants a dynamic layout, the same as the default but with
his own report heading.

I don't think this can be done - too bad.

You might try saying *YES to date/time and page numbers, which go on the
bottom of the page. And for some report description, use the print text
parameter of OVRPRTF QPQXPRTF
