WRKQRY missing from IBM i 7.6

> ANALYSIS_OF: WRKQRY_MISSING_FROM_IBM_I_7.6_

The removal of WRKQRY in IBM i 7.6 has significant implications for users.
  • WRKQRY, a tool for query management, was widely used for creating and managing queries.
  • Its absence in version 7.6 requires users to adopt alternative methods for query execution.
  • IBM mandates users to transition to SQL-based solutions, which offer more robust capabilities.
  • SQL provides greater flexibility and requires training for users accustomed to WRKQRY.
  • Organizations must evaluate their current query needs and invest in SQL training or tools.
The discontinuation of WRKQRY in IBM i 7.6 necessitates a shift towards SQL for query management.
