RE: RE: opnqryf(how do i automate an sql command in CL)

Murali,

There are various ways to achieve this, but sticing with what you've done so
far...

If GMIMONY1 is the output file with the fields you want in it, you could
keep this output file somewhere in your library list, clear it out (CLRPFM),
and use it on the FORMAT keyword on you OPNQRYF.

Eg

OPNQRYF    FILE((GMIMONYF1)) FORMAT (GMIMONY1) QRYSLT('MOFFIC *EQ +        

              %values(''H87'' ''870'' ''890'') & MFIRM +  

              *NE "X"') KEYFLD((MFIRM) (MOFFIC) (MACCT) + 

              (MATYPE) (MCLASS) (MSUBCL))  

You may have a problem here in that there are fields in the KEYFLD list that
are not in the format file, but you should be able to sort that yourself.
Basically the FORMAT file, determines which fields are available from the
results of the OPNQRYF, in a similar way to selecting the fields in an SQL
statement.

Cheers

Hai all,

In my CL PROGRAM 
I VE WRITTEN QUERY LIKE THE FOLLOWING:
-------------------------------------------------
OPNQRYF    FILE((GMIMONYF1)) QRYSLT('MOFFIC *EQ +        

              %values(''H87'' ''870'' ''890'') & MFIRM +  

              *NE "X"') KEYFLD((MFIRM) (MOFFIC) (MACCT) + 

              (MATYPE) (MCLASS) (MSUBCL))                 

 

CPYFRMQRYF FROMOPNID(GMIMONYF1) TOFILE(&FLIB/GMIMONY) +    

             MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*YES) FMTOPT(*NOCHK)


---------------------------------------------------------------
After calling this CL ,I ve runqry the file GMIMONY(i got many columns).....
Since I need only few columns( MOFFIC , MACCT ,MATYPE, MCURCD , MNA1 ,MER
,MTAR) in my out file 
I ve taken shiftF1 after strsql command..i took change session
attributes.... And    'in select OUTPUT ' I ve taken option 3 and created a
file GMIMONY1.I ve run the query like  following on sql 

SELECT MOFFIC , MACCT ,MATYPE, MCURCD , MNA1 ,MER ,MTAR  FROM  GMIMONY(this
file is created in copy from query file command)....i got my required
outfile GMIMONY1 with whatever columns I need.......


But how do i automate this sql command into my CL program (or) there any
easy solutions for this...Iam confused to create file again in the CL
program and copying it by taking format option *MAP/*drop..... Can anyone
help me by giving suggestions... Thanks a ton in advance, Murali.



ps:Thanks colin for ur suggestions...
