Was Query/400 or DB2 Query Manager an off-shoot of QMF

Paul,

I don't want to know who now makes QMF for Windows, I'm looking for the
linage of Query/400 and Query Manager for DB2 on the i5.    And I've
found it... Query Manager for DB2 is a direct decent from QMF on the
mainframe and QMF for Windows is a moderanization of that per the
following from IBM:
*******************************************************************************
Query/400's heritage was always S/3x. The same product ran on S/36 and
S/38.

Query Manager was from the mainframe and was ported to OS/400 - and
you
could, if memory serves me, create a Query Manager definition and it
would
be portable across iSeries and mainframe (which probably only really
makes
sense during testing of a migration).

So QMF for Windows was intended to be a more modernized version of
Query
Manager (but at some point, the QMF for Windows development folks added
a
capability to import Query/400 definitions too).

So I think the answer is yes, Query Manager was the mainframe
text-based
QMF product that was brought to OS/400 many years ago.
*******************************************************************************

Why is this important???  Smooths the "gating factor" of Government
procurement.

Thanks,

Dave
