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

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.........
