     I've used the "Open Query File Magic" by Ted Holt @ Midrange
     Computing. I consider it above average to very good.

Does anybody know of a decent book that goes into a lot of detail about
opnqryf ??? I have used it for years to do simple sorts, and "VERY" simple
record selections but I would now like to expand my knowledge of this very
powerful command, but figuring out how many
""""""""""" is a little too much when you get in a hurry and want to
do somthing as simple as select records from a file that are stored with
date values mmddyy and you wish to do a range selection.....
just too many *cat,*bcat,',"""",,etc,etc.... throw in some passed variables
and you end up somthing that looks like Fortran done in a
drunken rage.........
