Hi Darryl

Maybe try starting a database monitor before running the QRY - I can't guarantee this will work, but it might, since QRY for i does used database components.

When you convert a QRY to QM, there should be messages in the joblog that tell you more about any issues - not everything converts in every case - calculated columns and aggregates can be not what you expect.

In WRKQRY should should be able to print the definition, IIRC - see what is defining the column that seems to be in error.

I have inherited a QRY that was created before 2020. It has been running

The QRY is a complex QRY with 18 files.

Does anyone know of a way to get a dump of the values in the fields of the
QRYDFN when it fails? DMPJOB does not work.

I tried converting to a QMQRY to get the SQL. The SQL produces no errors
but returns an empty list of records. I see some records when working in
WRKQRY and use F5 to display the report and it does give me records. The
column in error has ++++.

I need to see the contents of the fields at the time to locate the problem.

TIA, Darryl Freinkel.
