Re: Need to scan files

Does that work on physical files?

I had always thought that we needed different, although similar tools, to scan
source files (PDM FIND)
reports (F14 whatever F16)
physical files (query SQL search functions usually one field at a time)

Have I been jumping through unneccessary hoops to get things from one form to
another so I can access another tool?

I like RUNQRY *N name of file with F4 *YES on bottom line so after seeing the
general patterns of the data, I can F12 & play around with some selection
criteria.

I realize that this might be one of the reasons our system occasionally gets
sluggish, especially if I encourage co-workers to be doing the same thing.
