RE: Passing parms to query

You should not be doing the compare with the setvar. It should only be passing 
a var. test that var in the qry. In the qry use the select record section to 
test the var   field ge :lodate

Subject: Passing parms to query



I followed up on the thread earlier of passing parms to a query,
and the results were good.

The query command I assembled was this (almost an exact copy from the
FAQ site):

STRQMQRY QMQRY(TDER3/PASSPARM) QMFORM(*QMQRY)
ALWQRYDFN(*YES)
SETVAR((LODATE 1011001))

beautiful, but I tried it with SETVAR((LODATE *GE 1010101))
and I get the error:

Too many values in list for parameter SETVAR.

I looked STRQMQRY up in the manuals (remember them) from V3R2
and it used the example of VAR1 and VAR2 being SQL statements,
but gave no indication of where these two variables belonged in
the QUERY definition.

The harder I think, the confuser I get.

important things in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles!
