Reader Feedback and Insights: Dynamic Result Field in Query/400

October 16, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

Hey, Ted:

Some time ago I ran into a situation similar to the one described in Midrange Guru by Bruce and Bill: I also needed to generate a result field from a dynamic expression.

I solved the problem by generating the whole Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command on the fly and then using QCMDEXC to run it.

These days I use RPG IV to generate the command. It is much easier than using RPG III.
