Re: Query conversion

I   agree  with  Jim.   Another problem I noticed on Query/400.   While I
use 3rd option (  Select and Sequence Field),
Which list all the database fields.  If it is a  small database file , its
o.k.  But most of the business application use a  database
file with  more than 100 fields.  Its very hard to browse page by page to
select few fields.

I always think, it would be lot more better to have a Position to
....................... on the top to go to a specific fields.  Also, it
would
be much better if it also has a fields description selection creteria or
field discription sorting.

With designing an excellent system, this is a very simple task for IBM.

Bill, I've been using Query/400 for about 8 years and have looked for the
same thing and have not found it.  I don't think you can.
