RE: Change Qry Files

Specify the files to be used in the test libraries in the QRYFILE parameter
in the same order they are specified in the QRYDFN

Assuming the query was specified using just the FILELIBA/CUST file, this
should do it:

RUNQRY myQuery QRYFILE(FILELIBTT/CUST)

Our shop standard requires the QRYFILE parameter to be specified with
unqualified file names (the equivalent of specifying *LIBL/filename) and
allows the files to be resolved at run time.

Say there is a production library with a bunch of queries. (QRYLIBA)
I copy that library to a test environment. (QRYLIBA to QRYLIBT)

Is there a programmatic way of changing all the files in the queries to
use the test environment files?

Ex: Query uses FILELIBA/CUST. I want to change it in the QRYLIBT to use
FILELIBTT/CUST.

It looks like there are some parameters on the RUNQRY command but not
sure how they are used.
I would REALLY prefer not to have to go into each qry and manually
change them.
No idea if that is even an option.
