Ok...here's my deal.

I have this big SQL statement...it does what I want it to do. 
I need to pass in two parameters (a numeric date and an alpha string). 
I need to format the output nicely.

What's the best approach? Should I have an RPG program that has the SQL
statement as a variable and I use PREPARE with parameter markers? Is QM
a better idea?

Thoughts are appreciated...
