Re: Need Help on using Variable Numeric fields in OPNQRYF

Hi
     There are several solutions but here is the easiest (no guarantees):

use character version of &FRDATE and convert ABDATE into a character
form using %DIGITS function. Also include extra double quotes otherwise an error
may occur.

e.g.
DCL        VAR(&FRDATE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(7) VALUE('0991201')

OVRDBF     FILE(ABCLF) SHARE(*YES)

        OPNQRYF    FILE((ABCLF)) +
                  QRYSLT('%DIGITS(ABDATE) *GE "' *CAT &FRDATE *CAT '" ')   +
                 KEYFLD((ABCUST))

OVRDBF     FILE(ABCLF) SHARE(*YES)

        OPNQRYF    FILE((ABCLF)) +

I am trying to use the above CL to select the records from the file using the
Numeric varible(FRDATE) but when compiling I getting the above errors in the
OPNQRYF statement. Can anyone please help me to fix this problem.
