Ever thought of using a command?  It could be written to return the QRYSLT
clause to a caller.  Prompting it interactively would be simple.  You
already have it.  Writing it to validate the parameter values would also be
simple.

Subject: Opnqryf with Many Selections


I don't remember how many times I have been asked to do this,
and I have never seen an reasonable way to handle it.

I need to prompt for 7 paramters in a selection screen.

Any or all of the parms can be entered, with the end result
being a collection of "and" conditions.

The parms look like somthing along these lines:

Agent     xxxxx
coverage  xxx
state     xx
inforce   (y/n)
underwriter xxx
company     xxx
payee       xxx

As many of you know, opnqryf can get pretty strange looking with
a bunch of "and" conditions. To make matters worse, "each" parm
can be optional(no selection= print all). I have done this a couple
of different ways using CLP and even RPG but I just wondered what
other folks have come up with. I have never been happy with my
methods.
