Because there's nothing for it to use to display the results. RUNSQLSTM should be used to create tables, create views, insert, update or delete data. There's probably a lot of other things you can use it for, but select is not one of them.
As for strqmqry, I would imagine that to override the print file.

Subject: SQL/QMQRY output question
Hi,
I'm trying to set up some audit reports using QMQRY but I'm having some trouble with the output. Using a QMQRY with *SYSDFT as the QMFORM it chops up the output into several spool files, which I don't want. If I try to define a QMFORM it tells me the number of columns must match the number of fields selected, which would mean I would have to create a form for each query. I'm hoping to be able to just create one form and use it for a bunch of queries. Is there any way to do this so it accepts any number of fields/columns but leaves the printed output as one spool file?
BTW, I'm using QMQRY because of an error I can't work out if I use RUNSQLSTM. I get the following error when I try:
5761SS1 V6R1M0 080215 Run SQL Statements AUDSPECAUT 09/30/11 11:47:44 PAGE

SQL0084 30 1 Position 1 SQL statement not allowed.
As you can see this is a very simple statement and if I just run the same statement from a STRSQL screen it's fine. (I am running the RUNSQLSTM command with *SQL naming too).
Does anyone has any ideas on either the error with RUNSQL or how to fix the output for QMQRY without creating a form for each query?
Thanks in advance
