Bill answered with:

Should be:
StrQMQry qmqry(cswflop01) setvar((&to '''TDER4''') (&from '''TDER3''')

Note: those are 3 consecutive single quotes.

But when I try to compile this into a CL, I get the message:

* CPD0727 40  Variable '&TO        ' is referred to but not declared.
* CPD0727 40  Variable '&FROM      ' is referred to but not declared.

So I declare it, and get the run time error:

  1114 - STRQMQRY QMQRY(CSWFLOP01) SETVAR((' ' '''TDER4''') (' '
  '''TDER3'''))
 is not a valid Query Management variable.


When I try to run from a command line:

StrQMQry qmqry(cswflop01) setvar((&to '''TDER4''') (&from '''TDER3'''))

I get the messsage:
Variable &FROM not allowed for parameter SETVAR.
Variable &TO not allowed for parameter SETVAR.
Error found on STRQMQRY command.


I am still missing something here.  Any ideas?
