Re: OPNQRYF run over several fil

[D.BALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

At first glance, it appears to me that you have gone the overkill route.  The
KISS principle would seem to dictate that you want to do one OVRDBF, OPNQRYF,
CPYFRMQRYF, DLTOVR cycle for each file in a loop.  You'd use a &FileName
variable and set it at the top of the loop; probably a little more coding to
effect a pseudo-array in your CL, but not that difficult.  Before entering the
loop, create the output file or ensure that it is empty, then use MBROPT(*ADD)
in your CPYFRMQRYF.

Hi,

I'm trying to write an OPNQRYF that will apply the same selection criteria
to 10 physical files, all with the same format.
i.e. Files: Tax00, Tax99, Tax98, Tax97........

I want to select all the recs for all of these files such that
RefDte *NE "0001-01-01".

Anyone have any sample code that accomplishes this?

When I do it, the CL loops.....
And just keeps writing the same record, over and over, and over...


TIA,
Dave

PS Here's the actual code:
