If you can run the SQL statement interactively you can take an F13 to
change the options, and set the output option to a new file. I believe
that you can also do a "CREATE TABLE AS (select statement)"

Subject: SQL solution for copying subset of one file to another,based on
a third's contents?

I need to copy a subset of a huge customer file into a test version of
the
file.  The customer file is uniquely keyed by company number (CONUM) and
customer number (CUNUM).  The subset is to be derived from a transaction
file, which has the CONUM & CUNUM keys.  Problem is that the transaction
file will have multiple records for any customer record.  Can SQL's
INSERT
somehow be used for this, or is this more easily solved by an RPG
application?

TIA,
Dan
