Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest V2 #212

Bill,

I am trying to figure this out but I don't know how you are proposing to
create the one field and put the query selection in it.

for example, suppose a command prompts the user for a range of years to
report on and the cpp is a cl program which does an opnqryf with
qryslt(&qryslt) where &qryslt was built concatenating the values etc. 
Then a cpyfrmqryf from db-file to qtemp/db-file and then runqry
query-name file(qtemp/db-file).

In this instance, can you create a new field on the fly?
