Re: OPNQRYF Question

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

Without having the actual files to try it out, I'm not sure, but how about
something like:

OPNQRYF    FILE((COURSES) (TBLLOOKUP)) FORMAT(COURSES) +
             QRYSLT('SOMECODE = "" *AND LEVEL = "02" +
             AND (TABLEID =' *BCAT &TNAME1 *BCAT '*OR +
             TABLEID =' *BCAT &TNAME2 *TCAT ')') +
             JFLD((COURSES/LOCATION TBLLOOKUP/ID *EQ)) +
             ALWCPYDTA(*OPTIMIZE)

HTH
