Re: lazy, /dumb or inept programmer

All of you using RPG+SQL for reports instead of OPNQRYF, I assume you're
using a cursor in RPG?

I prefer to use SQL today, but you obviously never used the BLDQRYSLT TAA
Tool.
It made OPNQRYF a breeze to use...

Robert:
In my 23 years, I have never found OPNQRYF to be easy. Once I learned
SQL
and then embedded SQL, I never even considered using OPNQRYF again. To
me,
a SQL cursor and SELECT statement is much easier, especially when using
dynamic selection and/or sort criteria, than an OPNQRYF.
