RE: Query conversion

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I've only tried to modify a QMFORM once--wanted to put the
contents of a file field in the heading.  I'm not anxious to repeat the
experience.  QMQRY or Query400 to a file and then print with RPG, or, even
worse, QMQRY to a file (for parameter passing) and Query400 to summarize and
print have worked well for me.
