Re: OPNQRYF QRYSLT Question...

Thanks Booth !

As I noted in my reply to Peter - CHGVAR cleans up (to a certain extent <BG> 
the syntax
for this parameter. The program(s) I alluded to in that response were receiving 
various
information from an inquiry screen allowing a user to perform a search and I 
can STILL
remember FIGHTING with this stuff (ESPECIALLY passing this information) until I 
hit on
CHGVAR !!!

That SNDUSRMSG is a GREAT idea, by the way !!!
