He may not be _quite_ wrong on this one, either.  The marketing/product
naming folks at IBM have made it darned near impossible to keep the various
offerings straight.  If you want to use the STRQM command, you need
5769ST1-DB2 Query Mgr and SQL DevKit for AS/400.  This gives you STRQM,
STRSQL and embedded SQL development support.  The darned names are goofy.
Query Manager vs Query Management Query.  Hmpf.

Anybody on any AS/400 (including the CICS machines!) can use SEU to enter
SQL source into QQMQRYSRC, compile and run it.  Here's a working sample for
those following along:

strseu qqmqrysrc syscolqm
SELECT SYS_DNAME,SYS_TNAME,SYS_CNAME 
FROM SYSCOLUMNS                      
WHERE NAME LIKE &SEARCH         
ORDER BY 3,1,2                       

crtqmqry yourlib/syscolqm

strqmqry yourlib/syscolqm setvar((search '''SRCSEQ'''))
