RE: QMQRY single vs double quotes/num vs char

["Elvis Budimlic" <ebudimlic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try:

STRQMQRY QMQRY(TRSFDD/TX_OVRPQ1X) ALWQRYDFN(*YES) SETVAR((INNEG &INNeg)
(INPOS &INPos) (INPARCEL (&APOST *CAT &PARCEL *CAT &APOST))) 

Also, see:

http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/146.html

BTW, your approach with &INPARCEL looks ok to me... perhaps length should be
14?

Subject: QMQRY single vs double quotes/num vs char

I've looked through the archives and don't see anything that matches exactly
my problem. I can get numeric data passed to the query - but, for some dumb
reason, the character field not happening.
 
Calling the query manager interactively works:
 
STRQMQRY QMQRY(TRSFDD/TX_OVRPQ1X) ALWQRYDFN(*YES) SETVAR((INNEG 24.90)
(INPOS 24.90) (INPARCEL '''B018001304'''))  
 
But am having difficulty with the parms in a CL
 
 DCL        VAR(&PARCEL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)   
 DCL        VAR(&INPARCEL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(12) 

 DCL        VAR(&APOST) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('''')   
 CHGVAR     VAR(&INNeg) VALUE(&APOST *CAT &NegAmt +         
             *CAT &APOST)                                  
CHGVAR     VAR(&INPos ) VALUE(&APOST *CAT &PosAmt *CAT +   
             &APOST)                                       
CHGVAR     VAR(&INParcel ) VALUE(&APOST *CAT &Parcel *CAT + 
             &APOST)                                     

This does not work because I need more quotes around the character field
(parcel).
I've tried several different ways to get it to work to no avail.
Tried these among others: /*      CHGVAR     VAR(&INPARCEL) VALUE(&PARCEL)
*/  including adding a zillion quotes.

Thanks for your help.
