DB2 graphic  QMF Version 8

Choosing an object name

An object name is optional in a command synonym. When you do use an object name, however, ensure users specify both the verb and the object name; otherwise, QMF cannot find a match in the synonym table. Entries in the OBJECT column must follow these rules:

The following examples show valid and invalid objects.

Valid Objects:
Invalid Objects:
PFKEYS
80CAT (first character is numeric)
MONTH_2_REPORT
ADJ%AGE (% not allowed)
"Net Sales"
JONES GROSS (double quotes required for blanks)

If you are using fully qualified table names: Object names can look like fully qualified table names; this is consistent with the QMF language. However, QMF objects other than tables cannot be referenced by three-part names. For example, the object name in the following QMF command has a fully qualified table name:

DISPLAY FORM.BACKUP
