Re: Passing Parms to Query

Yes, Paul is right, is a quoting problem, try to do
something like this:
 QUERYTEST:  PGM                                
 DCL VAR(&VALORECHAR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(3)             
 CHGVAR     VAR(&VALORECHAR) VALUE('''A''')                

 STRQMQRY   QMQRY(MARCO/PROVAPARM) QMFORM(*QMQRY) +        

            ALWQRYDFN(*YES) SETVAR((VALORE &VALORECHAR))  
 ENDPGM
