Answer / manish kumar
MAPFLD is used to change the format of the fields used in
the OPNQRYF statement. When I say changing the format the
format of the field will not be changed but we can format
the data as we wish and store it in a diffrent variable.
For eg. You want check for year to be some value and are not
concerned abt date and month then you can follow as below.
OVRDBF FILE(FILEA) SHARE(*YES)
OPNQRYF FILE(FILEA) QRYSLT('YEAR *EQ "88" ') +
MAPFLD(YEAR '%SST(DATE 5 2)' *CHAR 2)
CALL PGM(PGMC)
CLOF OPNID(FILEA)
DLTOVR FILE(FILEA

Answer / sumit gupta
Hi Suma..your question is wrong...OPNQRYF is used to select
some records from a physical file which is overide or
simple 1 file(without OVRDBF).
We cannot insert field into physical file throgh OPNQRYF.
But yes you can change the format of field as SAID BY
MANISH and then bys using CPYFRMQRYF...you can write the
selected record into physical file.
