Re: Question on QRYDFN ("editing under the covers" ?)

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Chuck,

Have you taken your brave pills today?

This information is stored in the *QRYDFN object.  There was a utility 
published by News/400 which extracted 
information from the *QRYDFN.  You may be able to modify this to change the 
printer name.

You could also use the Display/Alter/Dump function of the System Service Tools 
to locate the *QRYDFN object, 
browse it until you find the printer name, and change it.

Otherwise it is a manual process.  I really wish Query/400 had a source 
retrieval mechanism like the S/38 
Query.  That was really useful.

In either case BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP before you mess with the objects.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
