If you go into WRKQRY and change the Query specifications, then from within 
WRKQRY at point of Save yes/no you can save no & JOBQ batch yes, or from the 
WRKQRY menu you can select run in JOBQ batch as opposed to run on-line.

But we"re not enthusiastic about the notion of giving users that capability 
of changing queries when some users are less skilled at getting this right 
than others with communal queries that used to work right & at any moment 
without us knowing when, some of them get messed up.

If you put RUNQRY & some particular selection of QRY into a CL ... you can 
then put that CL on SBMJOB like any other JOBQ batch & the CL can OVRPRTF 
with the usual clarifications ... we use UsrDta heavily to identify which is 
which, however this approach does not give user the option of selecting date 
range & other criteria that we like to have in a query/400.

Open Query Path might be a possible alternative, but we are getting away from 
Query to programming.

This might not be what you were looking for.
