Display contents of a table or view

You can display the contents of your tables and views using View Contents. You can only view the contents; to make changes you will have to open the table or view. View Contents also allows you to access a Datalink column and its associated URLs, and then launches a browser when selected. This function is not available on pre-V5R1 systems.

To display the contents of a table or view:

  1. In the System i Navigator window, expand the system you want to use.
  2. Expand Databases.
  3. Expand the database and schema that you want to work with.
  4. Click on the schema that contains the table for which you want to view the contents.
  5. Right-click the table for which you want to view the contents and select View Contents.
