RE: PROBLEM WITH OPNQRYF -- MIDRANGE-L

  First off, I thought *CAT is used only for numeric variable.  &DIV is a
  one character field as is the GTDIV field in the file.

  Second, If I take out the lines with:

*AND GTDIV *EQ &DIV

  the command runs fine.  As soon as I add the line, I get the CPF9899
  error.

  Third, how large can I make the &SEL variable to store the QRYSLT
  statement?  The statement in the actual program is really much larger.  I
  just stripped it down some for the forum.

  Here is the actual command WITHOUT the line I added.  This one works fine.

  QSYS/OPNQRYF FILE((DOR400/GLTRAN))  +
  QRYSLT('GTBDTE *EQ '  *CAT  &BOOK  *CAT  ' +
     *AND GTACCT *EQ 3120 +
     *AND GTSOUR *EQ "BI" +
  *OR GTBDTE *EQ '  *CAT  &BOOK  *CAT  ' +
     *AND GTACCT *EQ 3140 +
     *AND GTSOUR *EQ "BI" +
  *OR GTBDTE *EQ '  *CAT  &BOOK  *CAT  ' +
     *AND GTACCT *EQ 3150 +
     *AND GTSOUR *EQ "BI" +
  *OR GTBDTE *EQ '  *CAT  &BOOK  *CAT  ' +
     *AND GTACCT *EQ 3170 +
     *AND GTSOUR *EQ "BI" +
  *OR GTBDTE *EQ '  *CAT  &BOOK  *CAT  ' +
