Re: Month-end queries

There are date functions built into DB2, I doubt the SQL statement would
need to be adjusted each run time.

Like everything there is more than one way to skin this cat.

-JA

true but if the date changes every run then why mess with changing the
statement manually? using embedded SQL in a program (or using QM queries)
is a much better approach IMO

Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Well... nearly any Query/400 query can be converted into a well crafted
SQL statement without the hassle of a full blown RPGLE pgm.

-JA

personally i would convert these to SQLRPGLE programs and use date
functions for the comparison

Month-end queries

At the end of every month, I change the record selection date range in
15
or so queries to reflect the current month in order to get month-end
totals. Is there a way to automate this? Of course, the files to be
queried may be different so the date fields will not always be the same.
