I installed Data Studio, seemed better to put it into its own workspace, in my initial playing around. But that's not conclusive, just a thought to see what happens when you try it. I am also working with Turnover's plugin, not sure if there're any issues there.

There is also a built-in data perspective, isn't there, Edmund? Again, I was just dabbling while trying to find a nice editor for SQL stored procedures.

I am using 8.5.1, and I am using DS 3.1.1, as i recall.

I looked at DS some time ago - I think it's received enhancements for better IBM i support. Just my impression.

IBM Data Studio 3.1.1

Buck,

I guess I wasn't aware of CRTQMQRY. I am in fact using STRQM (and to run
it in a CL - STRQMQRY).

STRQM creates two objects: a *QMQRY and a *QMFORM. The form holds
formatting instructions and the query holds the SQL. ish. You can
convert STRQM queries to source-based queries via RTVQMQRY. This will
result in two source files: QQMQRYSRC and QQMFORMSRC. The query part is
easy to understand and edit. The form part can be a challenge. Once
you've retrieved and edited the source you need to CRTQMFORM and CRTQMQRY.

If you mostly change the SQL and rarely change the presentation, this
can work out OK. If you need to change the presentation (more columns,
etc) then you'll probably be best served by copying the SQL into the
STRQM session and using that editor to handle the formatting. After
getting it just so, RTVQMQRY again to get the source back out.

Lot of work for a small change until you get comfortable with QMFORMs.

Is there a way to work with QMQry source in RDP?

I would like to update some SQL and I was thinking it'd be nice if I
could do it in RDP. I know I can do it in RDP (or wherever) and copy what
I want into QMQry, but I'd like to be able to directly modify the QMQry
source from RDP.
To be clear, I think you are not talking about editing QQMQRYSRC; the
place the source is stored for the CRTQMQRY command; the resulting object
executed via STRQMQRY. RDp works fine for this although there is no
prompting available.
I think you are talking about STRQM, which doesn't seem to have a source
file associated with it. The 'source' seems embedded in the *QMQRY object.
Unless STRQM has a secret stash where it keeps the source, I don't think
any external editor is going to work with these.
