Other IBM products that bridge to QMF
You can use the following IBM products with QMF to expand the
function of QMF:
- Application System (AS)
- AS can issue QMF commands and define QMF queries. AS can then
use the results of the QMF queries as input to AS processes.
- ECF
- The Enhanced Connectivity Facility (ECF) allows a workstation
user to access host relational data. The workstation user uses ECF
facilities to send a request to the host to run a saved QMF query
or procedure and to download the retrieved data to the workstation.
- GDDM
- The Interactive Chart Utility (ICU), used by QMF to display
charts, is actually a feature of Graphical Data Display Manager
(GDDM(R)).
- ISPF
- Interactive System Product Facility allows the user to generate
panels that can interact with QMF via the command interface.
- Lotus 1-2-3/M
- The host version of Lotus(R) 1-2-3(R) can access
QMF to perform spreadsheet analysis on query results.
