Re: Field Type 'P' in a query

[Glenn Thompson <gthompson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

I'm going to switch tactics at this point.  I will have to do this 
several more times as I'm doing a system implementation.  I'm going to 
have to brush up on my RPG skills which were poor at best.

I have several more of these type tasks to complete and I thought a 
query might be the way to go.

Thanks to you and Vern for your help.  I'm sure I'll be back with more 
questions about how to code and run my RPGILE program when I'm done.
