Re: QMQRY: Does this query tool support long field names (DDS Alias names) on iseries?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just saw that we probably have not answered the OPs question below? I 
will take it in the context of understanding an existing query.

I suggest that if the OP has the query text for the SELECT, that he put 
it into STRSQL command entry, hit F4 to prompt, then prompt on any of 
the field list entry points - at that point, the long names can be seen 
and may help.

The other thing to do is query on SYSCOLUMNS view and select on the 
system names - I forget the name of the column in SYSCOLUMNS that holds 
this value.
