Re: SQL/QMQRY output question -- MIDRANGE-L

Another thing to look at is editing the column - if it is text and is a wide one, you can put an edit on it in a form that says to wrap the value within the column - that's a great way to bring the width down.

You can also reduce the spacing between columns to just 1 space - this can help some, as well.

HTH - I love QM for just what you're doing - it can do everything RUNSQKSTM can do, albeit one statement at a time, and you can parameterize it, as someone else mentioned.

If you were at COMMON this year, I did a session and a lab on QM - maybe check out the handouts.

QMQRY is the right tool...

RUNSQLSTMT isn't.

*SYSDFT is fine, if that meets your needs.
Try OVRPRTF FILE(QPQXPRTF) PAGESIZE(132 66 *ROWCOL) LPI(6) CPI(10)

Or whatever you need to fit the results in the width... the default is
only 80 columns...

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

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
