For the record, I ran that dspobjd with both *basic and * full as well. No diff.

I think Simon @ rpgpgm.com<http://rpgpgm.com/> showed a way to document queries. Check it out.

Good day all. I happened to run into a developer conversation today about the WRKQRY command that
I found interesting. These guys were trying to figure out if there was a way to kick out all wrkqry's and QM query's
to an outfile and then be able to run a query over the outfile to show the WRKQRY printer device.

I ran this and couldn't find it.
DSPOBJD OBJ(QGPL/ECOPENORDS) OBJTYPE(*QRYDFN *QMQRY) DETAIL(*SERVICE)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QRYLIB/TESTFILE).

My mind went blank trying to figure it out. Maybe an SQL could pull that info out but I'm not
sure what to run.

I see it if I print out a WRKQRY definition - sample below:

Selected output attributes
Output type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Printer
Form of output . . . . . . . . . . . . Summary only
Line wrapping . . . . . . . . . . . . . No
Printer Output
Printer device . . . . . . . . . . . . ABCD1234 *---------
Report size
Length . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 66 (default)
Width . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 132

The IBM i community is amongst the smartest group of creative people I know of.
Any idea's to jumpstart my brain would be appreciated.
