Confirming query and form locations

After the inputs are specified, a list of the reports they specify is built that contains the name of the query and optional form for each. The next goal is to ensure that each object referenced exists (in exported format) in a data set and member. Objects that have not been exported (that is, they exist only in QMF) are automatically exported. Also, the existence in the specified data sets of all objects that have already been exported is verified at this time.

This step in the input specification phase is controlled from the Confirm Query/Form Locations panel. This panel lists the name and location of the query and form for each report for which you are generating a program. This panel displays only if the Confirm Query/Form Locations? flag on the Set Default Parameters panel is set to Y. If it is set to N, this panel is suppressed, and default values are used for all fields.

Confirm Query/Form Locations panel

When this panel is first displayed, the Exp, DSN, and Mem fields are filled in with values from the Set Default Parameters panel. However, if the input to the generation process was a procedure that contained IMPORT commands for any of the listed objects, the data sets and members referenced in those commands are used for the corresponding objects on this panel. You can change any of the fields for any of the objects listed by typing over the value.

If you press Enter, all input fields will be validated. If any errors are detected during input validation, the panel will be redisplayed with an error message. Otherwise, the program generation process will proceed with these location settings.

If you press PF3, the program generation process will stop and you will return to the Generate Programs panel.

If you press PF7 or PF8, the panel will scroll backward or forward.

The following fields are listed for each input query and form. If there is no form specified for a particular report, then the input fields for that form are initially blank and are ignored.

Export
Enter Y if this object currently resides in QMF and should be exported to the specified data set. Enter N if this object has been exported to the specified data set.
Data set
Enter the name of the data set into which this object should be exported (if the Export flag is set to Y) or which contains this object (if the Export flag is set to N). If the data set does not exist, the Allocate Data Set pop-up window will be displayed, allowing you to allocate it. If the name is enclosed in single quotes, it is taken to be a fully qualified TSO data set name. Otherwise, your current TSO profile prefix is used to qualify the name. If it is a PDS, do not specify a member name here; instead, use the Member field. If the Export flag is set to Y, you can enter the name *TEMP, to specify that a temporary data set should be created for the export.
Member
If the specified Data set is a PDS, you must enter the member into which this object should be exported or which already contains this object. If the specified Data set is not a PDS or is *TEMP, leave this field blank.
