Re: BPCS Query

[Al Mac Wheel <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this forum is appropriate for SOME Query questions, particularly 
related to BPCS files/fields identification, which query techniques most 
suitable, understanding inadequacies of tools vs. BPCS DB fundamentals, 
risk of dirty data, basically Gotchas when using Query to access BPCS 
data.  Remember that BPCS-L includes non-technical people, some threads may 
need to go off-line.

If you plan to collect data in a field in a BPCS file, by whatever means, 
outside of BPCS... be very careful not to mess up BPCS in the 
process.  Understand the role of your target fields before you change their 
contents.

I think Midrange-L more appropriate for theoretical how-to working with 
SQL/400, open-query-file joining, creating new index keys, logicals, 
getting embedded SQL cursors to work, handshake with Microsoft SQL server, 
ways to get our output into Excel.

There's other midrange.com forums.

Several magazines host forums (sometimes subscription required).
Some are Query specific ... SQL, open-query-file, Query/400..
