Another useful way of doing OPNQRYF is to use the QUSRTOOL BLDQRYSLT. 
This one simplifies the *cat, *bcat, and multitude of quotes.

Does anybody know of a decent book that goes into a lot of detail
about opnqryf ??? I have used it for years to do simple sorts, and
"VERY" simple record selections but I would now like to expand my
knowledge of this very powerful command, but figuring out how many
""""""""""" is a little too much when you get in a hurry and want to
do somthing as simple as select records from a file that are stored
with date values mmddyy and you wish to do a range selection.....
just too many *cat,*bcat,',"""",,etc,etc.... throw in some passed
variables and you end up somthing that looks like Fortran done in a
drunken rage.........
