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

;-) It was a dark and stormy night...

Only if you also have interactive SQL.

BTW, STRQM does not edit source members, it probably uses temporary ones. It directly creates the QMQRY. It also does not open existing source, it only works with existing QMQRYs and QMFORMs.

Some gotchas:

1. Some things cannot be prompted for, just like iSQL.
2. If you use a substitution variable, it will not prompt the SQL. It will still validate the statement, however.

Cheers

Vern,

Now you've made me feel like a real dummy ... (not too hard I know <g>)

In all the years I've been working with *QMQRY objects, I never knew/heard
of STRQM.  I can't believe I've been manually maintaining the SQL
statements all this time when STRQM has an F4=Prompt for the SQL syntax.
Argghhhh .....
