Nandagopal,
Actually, Query/400 is an excellent, if somewhat limited, tool. We use it
VERY extensively, mostly because it's very easy to use (as long as you
avoid COM files!). I can't even begin to cover all the differences between
SQL and Query - it's like comparing a steak and lobster dinner to a hot dog
and potato chips. Both are good at the right time.
I agree - the MAPICS thread is an excellent tool!

Dale,
Thanks for the attachment you sent me. Hmmm...what can be achieved by a
simple SQL query takes pages to achieve using Query/400!!
What is the difference between AS400 SQL and Query/400? Thanks for all your
help and it's great to be a part of this info bank.
Thanks,
Nandu

Nandagopal,
You will be quite disappointed in how limited Query/400 is if you are used
to SQL. I will do this query for you and e-mail the print definition
directly to your listed e-mail account. It's actually a very simple query
(easy for me to say!)
I would recommend looking at NGS-IQ as a supplement to using Query/400 -
it's what I feel that Query/400 should have "grown up" into. And no, I
don't work for NGS, I just am a user that uses both.

Hello Group,
I'm new to MAPICS and AS400 queries, but do have experience writing SQL
queries. I've been working on our MAPICS implementation for the last 4
months and this is the first time I'm writing AS400 queries. Basically, I'm
having trouble trying to incorporate GROUP BY aggregate function in an
AS400 query. I guess I haven't defined my report summary functions and
report breaks the right way. I would like to query ITEMBL file to get a
total on-hand inventory value for all warehouses. The SQL version of this
would look like this:
SELECT HOUSE, Sum(AVCST* MOHTQ) AS INVENTORY_VALUE
FROM ITEMBL
GROUP BY HOUSE
HOUSE = Warehouse
AVCST = Avg Unit Cost
MOHTQ = On Hand Total Quantity
I would like my report to look like this:
Warehouse INVENTORY_VALUE
PBC $107,117.41
PBD $157,116.41
PBX $257,116.41
Any suggestions on how to accomplish the above will be appreciated. Could
you also point me towards good online documentation/books on AS400 queries.
Thanks,
Nandu
