Re: iNav Sql scripts

Paul,

Yes but, How do you do a simple Select of a table with iNav that returns the
column heading?

As I wrote David, when I use iNav I tend to think in terms of the column
name, so this is not a problem for me but, what if I want to show the
headings? I suppose I could write a program that creates views with the info
found in QADBIFLD for the column heading (SELECT ColumnName AS a
DataFromDBIHDG ) but, IMHO, it would be better if I could set that as an
option within iNav.

I know that Barbara Morris from IBM monitors this list from time to time.
Now we need that her equivalent in the corresponding DB2 department joins us
as well :-)

Both SYSCOLUMNS and QSYS/QADBIFLD also have the text for the columns.

Sorry, I think I should have said TEXT instead of Column headings. The

display you get when you use STRSQL. Our tables still have 6 letter field
names so the output in iNav isn't really human readable.

Thanks for the SQL Assist tip that I did not know existed.

You can use SQL Assist (Edit->SQL Assist or press F4 on a blank line).

Or just do a select * from table and have a look at the
headings in the result set.

Or, if you are using a schema, run a SELECT on the SYSCOLUMNS
view in the schema with a where clause on TABLE_NAME.

Or, if you are not using a schema, run a SELECT on
QSYS/QADBIFLD with a where clause selection on DBILIB and DBIFIL
