RE: Dynamic embedded OPNQRYF in RPG

Hopefully this will help.  You can use scan & replace a little differently, but 
this is the general idea of OPNQRYF in an RPGLE program.

Subject: Dynamic embedded OPNQRYF in RPG


Hi Group,

I need an example to show how to use Dynamic embedded OPNQRYF in RPGLE 
program, if possible.

For example, if I have FileA which is a holding file and I would like to 
select all the expired orders where  ExpDat = :Today's date .

I searched in the archives but could not find a published example, although 
the question was asked before.

Thanks beyond measures,
All the best.
Heba
