As Tom suggested, I have used macros to get around this issue but at the time we were using Rumba. I have been playing with the macros in the TN5250J plug-in in RDi7.5 and it works really well.

I find this acceptable.
It is a situation that I've come across myself any number of times. The
only way I know how to resolve is to save each query, one at a time. If
someone has a better answer, I'd love to know

Geir:
The idea of it 'belonging' here is to help you first. Should you
expect COBOL experts to have any good suggestions about your
question? If you want a good answer, you should ask where experts
can see the question.
But second, the idea is to help others who come later. Why would
anyone search the COBOL archives to find details about query products?
But if you don't need good answers, then the COBOL list is as good
as any, I suppose.
That's not a serious complaint; merely my way of thinking about
these forums.
I' just changed a couple of central files in my COBOL-system and
recompiled - all well, but I also have a huge number of querys which are
using the same files. I have to open and close them to make them pick
up the new file definitions.
My question is: Do I have to do this manually one query by one - or is
there a cunning method of some kind that will do this for me?
It depends on what kind of "query" these are.
Are they Query/400 *QRYDFN objects? Then, yes, they'll need be
opened individually, and probably manually.
Are they Query Manager *QMQRY objects? Then, as already noted, you
probably don't need to do anything to them; although, each one
should be tested in case there is a specific dependency on something
you changed. Personally, I haven't really used Query/400 queries
since shortly after QM queries and forms became generally available,
maybe 15 or more years ago.
Are these queries bound into programs? Something else?
Anyway, for *QRYDFN objects, you might investigate the creation of
PC5250 macros to help automate the process. Maybe you can get a
large majority handled simply by automating the key-stroke
sequences. Once most are handled, smaller solutions might be useful
for the rest.
Also, consider Albert York's TNAPI - a Telnet API. One download site:
http://think400.dk/downloads.htm
If 5250 macros are infeasible, then some TNAPI programming might
still be possible.
