Dennis,

If I remember correctly, you -could- make all or part of the Where statement the
variable.  In other words treat it like some people treat the QrySlt parameter
of the OpnQryF command; build the relevant parts of the statement in a CL
variable and then substitute it.

Select * from myfile Where field1 = &wherestmt

In your CL you load variable &wherestmt with the comparison to field1 and then
you formulate the rest of the statement only if the user did not select *all as
the selection criteria.  Remember to double up the quotes for any alpha
comparisons because StrQMQry will strip out one set of them when passing the
variable on.
