RE: Query Manager Prompting

["Eric Kempter" <EKempter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I attempt to add the variable within Query Manager to the select
statement (:variable), I receive an error - Host variable not permitted
here.  Does anybody know why this is?  I was able to resolve this issue
by converting the QMQRY to SQL and then adding variables (&variable) to
specific points in the WHERE statement.  Although the interface leaves
something to be desired (it looks like a program message display), it
beats presenting the user with a select records screen within a query
and it allows retrieval of the variables just before it submits to
batch.

IIRC If you search the archives, about a year ago or maybe a bit longer
this
came up.

Anyway, I was able to find documentation that I could use, so you should
have no problem.

Here's the CL I use:
==========
 PGM

 STRQMQRY   QMQRY(SEXAXYZ/CREDITREL1) QMFORM(*QMQRY) +
              ALWQRYDFN(*YES)

 ENDPGM
================

In the Query definition itself select records looks like this (where
field
HODOCO is the selectable field):

Field             Test   Value
HODOCO            EQ     :HODOCO

---------
If you  hit return from here you see a second screen:

-------------------
Type choices, press Enter.

  Qualifier type . . . .   1

  Query or file  . . . .   DUMMY
    Library  . . . . . .     SEXAXYZ

  For choice 2=File:
    File member  . . . .
 -----
Other Query definitions:

Output type is "1" display

--------------------------

And, strangely enough "DUMMY" does not exist as an object on my system.

I hope this helps.
