# Data View dialog box

You use this dialog box to inspect the actual data that will substitute the substitution variables that you define in the Command or Options tabs.

You access this dialog box by clicking the Show Data button in the Command tab (or in the Options tab, when you are using the Create Batch Job dialog box). The Command tab is one of standard tabs that is described in Standard tabs in the dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit. If you see inappropriate data in the Data View dialog box, respond as follows:

- If the substitution variables that you defined generate results that are not valid, click Cancel to return to the Command tab, and adjust your definitions.
- If resources are referenced in the dialog box that you did not intend to include, close the Data View dialog box, and click Cancel in the toolkit dialog box that you are configuring. Select the resources that you want to target, and access the toolkit dialog box again.

Note: If you select the Use request's default data option in the General tab, the substitution uses the data from the original request. The data that is displayed in the Data View dialog box will reflect this fact.
Column headings in the Data View dialog box display the ATTRIBUTE(%variable%) format, where the attribute name is followed by the corresponding substitution variable name in parenthesis, as in the following example headings:

- *DSN (%SUB01%)
- Managed System (%name%)

In these example headings, *DSN and Managed System are the attribute names and %SUB01% and %name% are the names of the substitution variables.
