Commands you can use on the list of database objects
You can issue the following commands in the Action area of a list. Type QMF before any command to make sure that the QMF command runs instead
of a command synonym. Your installation might have defined a command with
the same name as a QMF command.
- Command
- What it does
- CONVERT
- Converts a prompted, QBE, or SQL query into an equivalent SQL query.
The comments in the original query do not appear in the converted query.
- DISPLAY
- Retrieve an object from the database and display it on your terminal.
- EDIT
- Edit a table in the database by using the Table Editor. From the database
object list, you can only use the EDIT command to edit a table. If you want
to edit a query or procedure, you must display it first.
- ERASE
- Delete an object from the database.
- EXIT
- End your QMF session.
- EXPORT
- Export QMF objects that are stored in the database directly from the
database into a file (CMS), data set (TSO and CICS/MVS«), or queue name
(CICS«).
- IMPORT
- Import QMF objects directly into the database from a file (CMS), data
set (TSO and CICS/MVS), or data queue name (CICS).
- LAYOUT
- Display the format of a report that is produced from a given form without
using any data. You can use LAYOUT only with form objects, and only in an
environment in which both REXX and ISPF are available.
- PRINT
- Print a database object.
- RUN
- Run a query or procedure that is stored in the database.
- SAVE
- Replace the object in the database with the object currently in temporary
storage. For example, if you enter:
SAVE QUERY AS
next
to a query on the database object list, QMF replaces that query in the database
with the query currently in temporary storage.
