I don't use an a.k.a. but thanks for the link. It is very good! I am going to forward one particular response to Buck for the FAQ! -----Original Message----- From: Draper, Dale [mailto:dale.draper@seu.sega.com] Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 7:51 AM To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' Subject: RE: Query Manager Prompting And, strangely enough, a guy going by the name of Tony Myers (a.k.a.

Just recently asked this on the comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc newgroup ( to found here: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&group=comp.sys.ibm.as 400. misc ) Here is a direct link to the thread, looks to be some good answers http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&th=327ab4c7a1a110c2 -----Original Message----- From: Eric Kempter [mailto:EKempter@norcalwaste.com] Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 4:18 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: RE: Query Manager Prompting When I attempt to add the variable within Query Manager to the select statement (:variable), I receive an error - Host variable not permitted here. Does anybody know why this is? I was able to resolve this issue by converting the QMQRY to SQL and then adding variables (&variable) to specific points in the WHERE statement. Although the interface leaves something to be desired (it looks like a program message display), it beats presenting the user with a select records screen within a query and it allows retrieval of the variables just before it submits to batch. -----Original Message----- From: Draper, Dale [mailto:dale.draper@seu.sega.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 12:02 PM To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' Subject: RE: Query Manager Prompting IIRC If you search the archives, about a year ago or maybe a bit longer this came up. Anyway, I was able to find documentation that I could use, so you should have no problem. Here's the CL I use: ========== PGM STRQMQRY QMQRY(SEXAXYZ/CREDITREL1) QMFORM(*QMQRY) + ALWQRYDFN(*YES) ENDPGM ================ In the Query definition itself select records looks like this (where field HODOCO is the selectable field): Field Test Value HODOCO EQ :HODOCO --------- If you hit return from here you see a second screen: ------------------- Type choices, press Enter. Qualifier type . . . . 1 Query or file . . . . DUMMY Library . . . . . . SEXAXYZ For choice 2=File: File member . . . . ----- Other Query definitions: Output type is "1" display -------------------------- And, strangely enough "DUMMY" does not exist as an object on my system. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Kempter [mailto:EKempter@norcalwaste.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 11:45 AM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Query Manager Prompting > Does anyone know how to get a query manager query to prompt a user for > input.
