Re: Using SQL as opposed to OPNQRYF

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

What you might be able to do is 

1)  Buy the following book:
SQL/400 Developer's Guide by Paul Conte and Mike Cravitz
from
http://store.midrange.com/
and help fund this list. (Seems to be a small problem with that website. 
Many icons and book descriptions seem to be missing.)

2)  Read that.  Test many of the capabilities in the book by using 
RUNSQLSTM, building Query Management Queries from source and CRTQMQRY, 
iSeries Navigator database functions, etc.

3)  Load the SQL development kit and code like crazy for 90 days.  After 
that, if management wants to maintain the code, they can purchase the 
package.  Granted, if you fail to successfully sell your work as a proof 
of concept test and not be compared to Teddy Roosevelt sending the navy 
half way around the world and then asking the Congress for money to bring 
them back, you may be looking for work.  (Your family - not mine.)
