RE: [External] Running a QRYDFN using STRQMQRY to pass the parameters

Simon's article is excellent - a couple things to watch out for -


If you are going to print the report, watch for PRTF dimensions. Query for i lets you set page size for. QMQRY uses QPQXPRTF, and I bet you've never changed this one. It happens to be the same in our case, though. But

I've read a few places that this can be done, saving one having to convert
a QRYDFN to a QMQRY.
I have tried to find examples on how to do this, but have not had success.
The examples I find show the QRYDFN being run but there are steps missing,
it appears. I need to keep the QRYDFN's as the users create the reports. I
am trying to schedule the queries in the scheduler passing from and to
dates.

Does anyone know how to do this?

TIA, Darryl Freinkel
