RE: pass parms to qry400

Al and anyone else who thinks that parameters can't be passed to Query/400:

Go to http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com .  Expand the "Tech Info &
Databases" line in the left frame, then choose "Software Knowledge Base".
Search for document number 6515952, "Passing Parameters to a Query/400
Query".  This document has pretty straightforward step-by-step instructions,
and should answer your questions.

I've posted these instructions for finding this document twice to
comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc , and other people have posted detailed links that
are supposed to go directly to the document, both here and there.  IT CAN BE
DONE!
