And then again you'll be attacked by the PC package replacement. And instead of designing decent join logicals in the first place you'll have to go through jumps in the PC package to set up the links that basically emulate a decent join logical. As for me, I created a join logical like the following for query usage: * ADDLFM FILE(MGR1499SID/ZDATAW) MBR(ZDATAW) * DTAMBRS((SAFETYF/AUDIT (AUDIT)) * (SAFETYF/AUDITINCID (AUDITINCID)) * (MGR1499SID/LOCATION (LOCATION)) * (MGR1499SID/EMPNAM (EMPNAM)) * (SAFETYF/INCIDENT (INCIDENT)) * (SAFETYF/STATUSES (STATUSES)) * (MGR1499SID/EMPNAM (EMPNAM)) * (MGR1499SID/COMPNAME (COMPNAME)) * (SAFETYF/INCIDENTT (INCIDENTT)) * (MGR1499SID/EMPNAM (EMPNAM)) * (MGR1499SID/DIVISION (DIVISION)) * (MGR1499SID/EMPNAM (EMPNAM))) * Modification log: * 06/11/97 by R.Berendt, CCP GDS, LLC * Added field TAKEACTION from INCIDENT. This field * is the 'Action to be taken' * JDFTVAL R ZDATAWR JFILE(AUDIT AUDITINCID + LOCATION EMPNAM INCIDENT + STATUSES EMPNAM COMPNAME + INCIDENTT EMPNAM DIVISION + EMPNAM) J JOIN(1 2) JFLD(AUDIT# AUDIT#) JDUPSEQ(SEQUENCE#) J JOIN(1 3) JFLD(LOC LOC) J JOIN(1 4) JFLD(AUDITOR# EMPLY) J JOIN(2 5) JFLD(INCIDENT# INCIDENT#) J JOIN(2 6) JFLD(STATUS STATUS) J JOIN(3 7) JFLD(MANAGR EMPLY) J JOIN(3 8) JFLD(ENTITY COMP) J JOIN(5 9) JFLD(INCIDENTYP INCIDENTYP) J JOIN(8 10) JFLD(MANAGR EMPLY) J JOIN(8 11) JFLD(DIV DIV) J JOIN(11 12) JFLD(MANAGR EMPLY) AUDIT# JREF(1) LOC JREF(1) LOCNAME JREF(3) RENAME(NAME) LOCMGR JREF(3) COLHDG('Location' + 'Manager') RENAME(MANAGR) LMNAME JREF(7) COLHDG('Location' + 'Manager') RENAME(NAME) ENTITY JREF(3) CMPMGR JREF(8) COLHDG('Company' + 'Manager') RENAME(MANAGR) CMNAME JREF(10) COLHDG('Company' + 'Manager') RENAME(NAME) DIV JREF(8) CMPNAME JREF(8) COLHDG('Company') + RENAME(DESC40) DIVNAME JREF(11) COLHDG('Division') + RENAME(DESC40) DVMGR JREF(11) COLHDG('Division' + 'Manager') RENAME(MANAGR) DVNAME JREF(12) COLHDG('Division' + 'Manager') RENAME(NAME) DATEAUDIT 8S 0 JREF(1) + EDTWRD(' / / ') DATAUDMM I SST(DATEAUDIT 5 2) DATAUDDD I SST(DATEAUDIT 7 2) DATAUDYY I SST(DATEAUDIT 3 2) AUDITOR# JREF(1) COLHDG('Auditor') AUDNAME JREF(4) COLHDG('Auditor') + RENAME(NAME) DATEREPORT 8S 0 JREF(1) + EDTWRD(' / / ') DATREPMM I SST(DATEREPORT 5 2) DATREPDD I SST(DATEREPORT 7 2) DATREPYY I SST(DATEREPORT 3 2) SEQUENCE# JREF(2) INCIDENT# JREF(2) INCIDENTYP JREF(5) INTYPDESC JREF(9) SHORTDESC JREF(5) REGULATION JREF(5) ACTION JREF(5) PENALTYAMT JREF(5) TAKEACTION JREF(5) STATUS JREF(2) STATUSDESC JREF(6) PRIORITY JREF(2) DATEDEADL 8S 0 JREF(2) + EDTWRD(' / / ') DATDEDMM I SST(DATEDEADL 5 2) DATDEDDD I SST(DATEDEADL 7 2) DATDEDYY I SST(DATEDEADL 3 2) DATECLOSE 8S 0 JREF(2) + EDTWRD(' / / ') DATCLOMM I SST(DATECLOSE 5 2) DATCLODD I SST(DATECLOSE 7 2) DATCLOYY I SST(DATECLOSE 3 2) COMMENTS JREF(2) DOCID10 JREF(2) K AUDIT# sraisor@earthlink.net on 02/25/2000 03:18:45 PM Please respond to RPG400-L@midrange.com@Internet To: RPG400-L@midrange.com@Internet cc: Fax to: Subject: Re: Query/400 to RPG program In my opinion, queries are fine for quick one time reports needed by the end users. However, I don't think end users should become dependant on queries for their day to day activities. Most end users don't understand the relationships between files that is needed to write "good" queries. Quickly you start seeing queries indexing files for minutes on end, due to strange joins and sorts. Also, if they are dependant on a query and suddenly a problem develops with that query, who has to fix the problem in a hurry? Write programs in programs, don't try to write programs in query!!!
