All,
I have a QMQRY in SQL format with the following statement:
SELECT IFCOMP, IFITEM FROM VINITMB WHERE IFITEM = &ITEM
Field IFITEM is defined as Char 20 and can contain numbers, characters or a
mix of both.
When I run this using STRQMQRY *without* specifying any values for the
SETVAR keyword, it prompts for the value of *"ITEM"*. i enter *'1010' *and
get a report of all records with that value.
When I run it using the STRQMQRY *with* specifying the SETVAR keyword as
follows:
STRQMQRY TEST SETVAR(('ITEM' ' '1010')) the query ends abnormally with a
message in the joblog indicating a selection error on field IFITEM. The
prior messages indicate that it is attempting to CAST the IFITEM field as
INTEGER.
What am I missing here?
Is it not possible to pass a character value as a variable to a QMQRY?
TIA,
Jeff Young
