Thanks, for the suggestion but is opnqryf a good option for an
interactive program? also i would have to call a CL program to do the
selection and get back to the RPG, do a close and an open of the file to
use the new query. I'm not sure than that would be faster. The SQL part
I dontr know (we dont have SQL on our machines)
).
