RE: Passing parameters to a query

[Buck Calabro <mcalabro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

QQMQRYSRC:
  SELECT NAME,TOTAL   
  FROM MASTER         
  WHERE TOTAL > &TOTAL
  ORDER BY NAME       

CL command to execute this:
  STRQMQRY QMQRY(MASTER) SETVAR((TOTAL 1.00))

In file MASTER, field TOTAL is a packed number, 11 digits with 2 decimals.
I named the QM variable &TOTAL so it would be easy to remember what field I
was comparing at run time.
