RE: OPNQRYF syntax error in PDM

Hi John,

Will the command run from QCMD?  Do you get any syntax messages when you
try?

Subject: OPNQRYF syntax error in PDM

I don't men to ask a programming question.  Just need somebody else's
eyeballs to look at a OPNQRYF.  PDM is complaining "The end of the
expression is expected" and has highlighted a line I will highlight with
> > > and <<<.  The purpose of the mapped fields is to convert a numeric
date stored as yymmdd to character and append that to a century.  I am
obviously missing something.  May be making it harder than it needs to
be.  

I appreciate your thoughts.

   eval      cmdbuf = 'opnqryf ' +
                 'file((badplpp)) qryslt(''' +
