Re: AS/400 query with date - 6 months

In a Query/400 QRYDFN you need to have a variable starting with a colon (:INPUT)

Using Query Manager you need to use an ampersand and capitals (&INPUT)

If it is a character string, the value should be in double quotes. (''1160101")

That is all I can remember, no machine at hand.

I have an AS/400 query with a hardcoded date.
The date is today's date - 6 months.
Example 1160130.

I'd like to make this date a variable.

Can this be done within the query?
Or
Must it be done outside the query and pass the date as a variable to the query?
Then, instead of calling RUNQRY, I would need to STRQMQRY.

Any thoughts from the group?

Thank You
