RE: SQL VS QUERY

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Evan:

It's been years since I've done much with Query/400 (pretty much ever since I 
first learned about QM queries), so I'm not familiar with the 'report layout 
tools' that are available through Query/400.

My experience was that QM forms provided a better output specification 
capability than Query/400. Maybe Query/400 has advanced. Can you describe a 
couple significant advantages that Query/400 has?
