I need to do a very simple 'select distinct' type of SQl, and have the results go into an existing pf, what's the simplest way to do this in a CL?

I normally use RPG for SQl, but this particular need doesn't require any error checking or logic associated with it.

Hi Tim

Just another option to add to the many you've had so far - use a QMQRY
with all replacement variables that you can pass ad-hoc SQL to from
your CL. For one take on a command front-end for that see my EXCSQL
utility:
