RE: Send a parm to a query?

Thanks Buck, Vern, and Howard,

I have the info I need to present to the functional lead here.  She will
appreciate the info as she is the one who gets the pleasure of changing all
these date headings each month.

Not in Query/400, AFAIK. It's starting to look like you
need QM queries and forms. With a QMQRY you could have
the dates as substitution variables and add them to the
SELECT statement, as literals. They don't need to be a
part of the body of the report, but they can be included
in the header or footer of a page. It's easiest if you
have Query Manager, but you can also work with a raw
QMFORM source - it's not the most fun but doable - or
maybe it is fun <g>. Information in the Query management
programming reference manual.
