RE: Can CL write to a disk file

   Missed a closing parenthesis

   Should be

      SETVAR((CHARVAL  ('''' *TCAT &CHAR_FIELD *TCAT '''')))

   I also have a QMQRY that does:

   DELETE From SAVEINFO      
          Where SROVOL LIKE  &VOL_ID

   the STRQMQRY command is this:

   STRQMQRY   QMQRY(DEL_VOLID) SETVAR((VOL_ID ('''%' *TCAT +
                &VOL_ID *TCAT '%''')))

        I have tried that, QMQRY treats the &xxx as a literal, and no
     substitution
        is done.  Not recognized as a variable.

        Rob,

        I set the values on the STRQMQRY command as follows,

        Literal:

        SETVAR ((LITVAL  ''' place literal text here '''))

        Character value field:

        SETVAR((CHARVAL  ('''' *TCAT &CHAR_FIELD *TCAT '''') )

        Number value field:

        SETVAR((NUMVAL &NUM_FIELD))

        It seems to work well for me most times.

        Hope this helps!

          What happens if you put single quotes in the QMQRY file? That is:

          INSERT INTO OUTQFIX
          VALUES('&OUTQFIX_OUTQ', '&OUTQFIX_AUTHLIST', '&OUTQFIX_CHANGED',
                 '&OUTQFIX_MSGID')

          Does it then treat the &xxx as a literal, or does it still replace
     them?

          Subject: Can CL write to a disk file

          Is there a command like SNDF that will work to a disk file?  V5R3.

          Trying  workarounds like
            CHGVAR VAR(&OUTQFIX_OUTQ) VALUE('A')
            CHGVAR VAR(&OUTQFIX_AUTHLIST) VALUE('A')
            CHGVAR VAR(&OUTQFIX_CHANGED) VALUE('A')
            CHGVAR VAR(&OUTQFIX_MSGID) VALUE('A')
            STRQMQRY QMQRY(OUTQFIX) +
                   SETVAR((OUTQFIX_OUTQ &OUTQFIX_OUTQ) +
                          (OUTQFIX_AUTHLIST &OUTQFIX_AUTHLIST) +
                          (OUTQFIX_CHANGED &OUTQFIX_CHANGED) +
                          (OUTQFIX_MSGID &OUTQFIX_MSGID))
          Which executes
          INSERT INTO OUTQFIX
          VALUES(&OUTQFIX_OUTQ, &OUTQFIX_AUTHLIST, &OUTQFIX_CHANGED,
                 &OUTQFIX_MSGID)
          But I get stupid messages like:
          CALL ROB/TESTFIX
             215 - STRQMQRY QMQRY(OUTQFIX) SETVAR((OUTQFIX_OUTQ 'A')
            (OUTQFIX_AUTHLIST 'A') (OUTQFIX_CHANGED 'A') (OUTQFIX_MSGID 'A'))
          Column A not in specified tables.
          RUN QUERY command failed with SQLCODE -206.

          And I'm just plain disgusted playing the apostrophe game.
