Hey, Ted:

I need to select records for the period beginning 210 days ago and ending 30 days ago using Open Query File (OPNQRYF). The date field is eight digits packed, in YYYYMMDD format.

In regards to your tip on displaying menu options, which published in the "Odds and Ends" column in the September 18 issue of Midrange Guru, OS/400 Edition, I have a suggestion.
