Comments on: How do I start a query on AS/400 with a parameter http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/variable-in-query/ Fri, 24 May 2013 01:03:22 +0000 hourly 1 By: tomliotta http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/variable-in-query/#comment-101827 tomliotta Thu, 19 Jan 2012 07:39:18 +0000 #comment-101827 Review the Query reference manual for the use of ‘dependent values’. Since you need to have the Query for i product in order to have the current reference manual, and I don’t have the product, you’ll have to tell me how to do it. (You do have the manual, right?)

But ‘dependent values’ were intended to be used in queries for the Office Vision product which is no longer available. In order to use those queries, you have to execute them with Query Manager. You execute them the same way you would execute a normal QM query with parameters — with the STRQMQRY command.

And since it’s easier to create QM queries that accept parameters than to create Query for i queries (and you can create QM queries without licensing an additional product that is less capable and harder to use than QM), and QM queries can be created on more systems than Query for i queries, why would you ever use Query for i?

BTW, if you want to use a Query for i query with parameters, you can’t use the RUNQRY RCDSLT() parameter.
