Title: RE: Query/400 to RPG program

The one thing I hate about queries is something that was brought up in a previous post.  If I make a change to a database file, I can very easily compile all RPG programs which reference the file (I use FNDSTRPDM w/ OPTION(*CMPL) quite a bit).  But, I can't w/ Queries.  I have to manually go into each one.  And there isn't a good way to determine which queries use the affected file.  For companies which make a lot of database changes (our's is one), I strongly discourage Queries.

What is so bad about Query?  Is this some sort of programmers union
uprising?  'The users are access their own data without going through
us!  Wait, lets remove the easy maintainability of Query and put it into RPG!'

I just started working with RPG. This company lives on querys! They run
around a 80 different ones a day. Is there a good tool that anyone would
suggest that would convert querys to code. we run 3.7.

Thank you
Dan
