To expand further - as I mentioned in another reply in this thread - you can run QRYDFNs using QM - and if your QRYDFN has merge fields, they become substitution variables that you can specify with the SETVAR parameter of STRQMQRY.

Yes, QM allows you to simply pass parms.

One feature of query that I always wanted to implement was passing a
parameter to the query.
I believe you need QM do this, is this correct?

LOL - yes, form source is for masochists only! Or dyed-in-the-wool
fixed-format RPG developers looking for a good time!

One maybe nice thing about STRQM is that is can be in a prompted mode,
that looks a lot like WRKQRY's designer - you don't get the full benefit of
SQL if you use it, but it can be a smoothing of a transition.

I've not tried the formatting in years. Just tried it now. Actually
it doesn't look too bad. But honestly, I don't generate a lot of
reports for end users so the stuff I can get from STRSQL versus either
STRQM or WRKQRY works for most of my tastes.

I think my earlier bias came from looking at the source of a form.
