u CAN alway run a query like RUNQRY Queryname RCDSLT(*YES) this will prompt for runtime parms From: "Daniel Himel III" <danielh@elp.rr.com> Reply-To: RPG400-L@midrange.com To: <RPG400-L@midrange.com> Subject: RE: Query/400 to RPG program Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 07:46:48 -0700 Thanks for your responses. I like the querys, but there are a few they take an hour or more to run to run and hog up a lot of resources. Others have to have new parameters entered every time they are requested(which the MIS dept is responsible for). Maybe Im missing something( I am very green to rpg)..is there a way for query/400 to prompt for parameters? -----Original Message----- From: owner-rpg400-l@midrange.com [mailto:owner-rpg400-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Rob Berendt Sent: Friday, February 25, 2000 5:23 AM To: RPG400-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: Query/400 to RPG program However we HAD an employee here that wasn't capable of writing a program that couldn't have been easily handled by Query. He refused to learn Query. I wish him luck in his new endeavor.

Are they doing the job they were designed for?. Without knowing the size of your orginization, it's hard to say wether that is a lot of querys or not. Unless they're real system hogs, a query is a quick and simple way to get a report to user. Most of the companies I have worked have hundreds of queries on their system. The nice thing about query is, with the right users you can even hand off some of the more simpler report requests to them and spend more of your time on the stuff that really needs to get done. Why spend a couple of hours or more writing a RPG report when in 15 minutes you can handle the most typical report requests?
