RE: SQL subquery? sub-something?

I've wondered whether there is a pretty-print for SQL anywhere, because 
these things get really ugly fast.

Now, I see a couple possibilities for keeping "source" - a *QMQRY and a 
member that RUNSQLSTM uses. You could look at STRQM, option 1. This does 
not obviously use a source member, but the syntax is saved somewhere.

Or use a QMQRY source member in QQMQRYSRC (record length 91 of all things). 
I've used this in the past, with a CQ PDM option for the CRTQMQRY command 
based on the member, and an RQ option for STRQMQRY, filling it in with the 
member name. There IS also a WRKQMQRY command that has create options (11, 
IIRC).

Finally, Navigator can generate the SQL from an existing view. I don't 
recall how pretty it is.
