Re: opnqry file v cpyf

Paul,

There are a thousand ways to handle this.

You can continue to use Query/400.  You may wish to search the archives for
'passing parameters with query'.  I would suggest search MIDRANGE-L and not
the rpg list for a Query question.

You can convert from Query to Query Management.  I had an article published
many moons ago in News/400 on this.

You can use RPG.

You can use embedded SQL in RPG.

And the list goes on...

hello
when i want to retrieve records from a file with certain criteria is there
a preferred way  rather than using open qry file with selects... perhaps
using cpyf to a file in qtemp and using increl to select records..... as a
novice are there particular performance issues of either way   this relates
to a  particular task where i was asked to  use  query400 (using this file
and another file for the customer name ) to output  a printer file
depending on the user entering date and customer or just date..... or would
doing this in a rpg pgm reading the file have been better
