Re: edit a *QRYDFN query outside of WRKQRY interface?

Dan,

Yeah, I agree ... this has always been one of my pet peeves too.

Have you considered converting (some or all of) your *QRYDFN objects to
*QMQRY objects instead?  You can use the RTVQMQRY command with the
ALWQRYDFN(*YES) keyword to create *QMQRY source members containing an SQL
statement in each.  This gives you the freedom to use WRKMBRPDM using
option 2 to edit the SQL statement in the source member, option 14 to
create the *QMQRY object.

Note that the report output might need some work via *QMFORM's since the
default generic report style for *QMQRY's can be a bit simplistic.  But if
you REALLY hate being forced to use WRKQRY to get into *QRYDFN's, *QMQRY
might help you feel better!  (We aim to please!)

Bill
