How do I pass parameters to a Report in QMF (Query Management Facility) at runtime? I.e If I needed an adhoc report for a certain month of a certain year, I would pass in 2004 and July at runtime.

You can use variables, which are designated by a word beginning with ampersand (&).

First create the query with variables:

SELECT &COLUMN
FROM Q.STAFF
WHERE NAME=&NAME

Then to run the query:

RUN QUERY (&COLUMN=SALARY, &NAME='SMITH'

If the variable is not supplied in the run command, the user will prompted for the value (unless run in TSO batch mode).
