Re: PROBLEM WITH OPNQRYF

Hi Rick -


Ken, exactly.

and just to clarify, the CL variable (&DIV) must be an alpha variable
to concatenate, regardless if the file variable is alpha or numeric.
You're right. I pass everything to batch jobs in a data structures so I always have the value available as a character string, even if it is a numeric value.
I also very seldom use OPNQRYF any more. I much prefer a QTEMP work file with free format sort fields for infinitely variable sequencing of the output.
