Notes
- If you want to build a new query or procedure using EDIT, reset
the query or procedure first to clear the QMF temporary storage
area. Do this by issuing the RESET command with the QUERY or PROC
parameter.
- If you want to modify an existing query or procedure, first
display the query or procedure to bring it into the QMF temporary
storage area. Then use the EDIT command to modify the query or procedure.
- After editing your query or procedure, you can file or save
your file or data set. This replaces whatever was in QMF temporary
storage. If your query or procedure is too large to fit in QMF's
temporary storage area, it is stored in a file. If this happens,
a message is displayed telling you the name of the file that your
procedure or query is in.
- The SAVE command within the editor is not the same as the QMF
SAVE command. The editor only saves (or files) to the QMF temporary
storage area. If you want the query or procedure to be saved in
the database, you must use the QMF SAVE command.
- Although you cannot use the EDIT command in CICS to edit a QMF
query or procedure, you can use the QMF DISPLAY or SHOW command
to display such an object, and then modify it using QMF.
