DB2 graphic QMF Version 8

Setting default parameters

All Program Generator options use a collection of default parameter settings. These default settings are saved from session to session in your ISPF profile data set (under an application ID of RAAX). You can set these default parameters by selecting option D from the Program Generator Menu.

If you press Enter, all input fields will be validated. If any errors are detected during input validation, the panel will be redisplayed with an error message. If there are no errors, then these default values will be saved and you will return to the Program Generator Menu.

If you press PF3, all input fields will be ignored and you will return to the Program Generator Menu. The previous default values will be restored.

The fields on the panel are:

Export Queries?
Enter Y to direct Program Generator to automatically export your queries. Enter N if your queries have been exported.
Query Data Set
If the Export Queries? flag is set to N, this is the data set that contains your queries.

If the Export Queries? flag is set to Y, this is the data set into which your queries should be exported (in which case it must have RECFM=FB and LRECL=79).

If the data set does not exist, the Allocate Data Set pop-up window will be displayed, allowing you to allocate it.

If the name is enclosed in single quotes, it is taken to be a fully qualified TSO data set name. Otherwise, your current TSO profile prefix is used to qualify the name. If it is a PDS, do not specify a member name here; instead, use the Query Member field. You can also enter the name *TEMP to specify that temporary data sets should be created for exporting your queries.

Query Member
If the specified Query Data Set is a PDS, this is the member into which your queries should be exported, or the member that contains your queries. If you leave this field blank, the member name will be derived from the query name if the Query Data Set is a PDS. Leave this field blank if the Query Data Set is not a PDS or is *TEMP.
Export Forms?
Enter Y to direct Program Generator to automatically export your forms. Enter N if your forms have already been exported.
Form Data Set
If the Export Forms? flag is set to N, this is the data set that already contains your forms. If the Export Forms? flag is set to Y, this is the data set into which your forms should be exported (in which case it must have RECFM=V and LRECL between 81 and 7290 for QMF V2 or between 161 and 7290 for QMF V3). If the data set does not exist, the Allocate Data Set pop-up window will be displayed, allowing you to allocate it. If the name is enclosed in single quotes, it is taken to be a fully qualified TSO data set name. Otherwise, your current TSO profile prefix is used to qualify the name. If it is a PDS, do not specify a member name here; instead, use the Form Member field. You can also enter the name *TEMP to specify that temporary data sets should be created for exporting your forms.
Form Member
If the specified Form Data Set is a PDS, this is the member into which your forms should be exported, or this is the member that contains your forms. If you leave this field blank, the member name will be derived from the form name if the Form Data Set is a PDS. Leave this field blank if the Form Data Set is not a PDS or is *TEMP.
Export Procs?
Enter Y to direct Program Generator to automatically export your procedures. Enter N if your procedures have been exported.
Procedure Data Set
If the Export Procs? flag is set to N, this is the data set that contains your procedures. If the Export Procs? flag is set to Y, this is the data set into which your procedures should be exported (in which case it must have RECFM=FB and LRECL=79). If the data set does not exist, the Allocate Data Set pop-up window will be displayed, allowing you to allocate it. If the name is enclosed in single quotes, it is taken to be a fully qualified TSO data set name. Otherwise, your current TSO profile prefix is used to qualify the name. If it is a PDS, do not specify a member name here; instead, use the Procedure Member field. You can also enter the name *TEMP to specify that temporary data sets should be created for exporting your procedures.
Procedure Member
If the specified Procedure Data Set is a PDS, this is the member into which your procedures should be exported, or the member that contains your procedures. If you leave this field blank, the member name will be derived from the procedure name if the Procedure Data Set is a PDS. Leave this field blank if the Procedure Data Set is not a PDS or is *TEMP.
Review Proc?
Enter B to browse input procedures before generation, E to edit them, or N to do neither.
Source Code Data Set
Enter the data set to which generated programs should be written. If the data set does not exist, the Allocate Data Set pop-up window will be displayed, allowing you to allocate it. If the name is enclosed in single quotes, it is taken to be a fully qualified TSO data set name. Otherwise, your current TSO profile prefix is used to qualify the name.
Source Code Data Set Disposition
Enter the disposition for the source code data set on output. Valid values are OLD, SHR, or MOD.
Confirm Query/Form Locations?
If you enter Y, the Confirm Query/Form Locations panel will be displayed during the generation process. Use this panel to confirm the location of every query and form used as input. If you enter N, default values will be used to determine the location of each query and form.
Confirm Exports?
If you enter Y, the Export Confirmation panel will be displayed during the generation process. Use this panel to confirm each QMF export command before it is issued. Entering N will cause exports to proceed without confirmation.
QMF/REXX Initialization Program
Enter the name of the REXX program used to set default QMF startup parameters, if your site does not use the default REXX program, DSQSCMDE.'
Current SQLID
Enter a 1-to-8 character SQLID to be used to qualify query, form, procedure, and table names. The value entered must be a valid primary or secondary SQLID. If this value is left blank, your current SQLID will be used to qualify object names.
QMF Profile Key
QMF provides the ability to select your profile based on your TSO logon ID or your primary SQLID. Set this flag is set to T use your TSO ID; otherwise, set this flag to P to use your primary SQLID.
Translation
Enter the QMF translation value to use to select your profile. Valid values are:

Note:
Leave this field blank or enter an asterisk (*) to use the system default.
Table Name Customization Exit
Enter the name of an exit to be used to customize the appearance of database table names and declarations in generated source code. To invoke a CLIST as the exit, precede the name with a percent sign (%). Otherwise, Program Generator assumes that the you entered name refers to an executable load module. The RAATXL member in the QMFHPO.SRAACLST library contains a sample CLIST exit. No customization is performed if value is entered in this field.
Column Name Customization Exit
Enter the name of an exit to be used to customize the appearance of database column names in generated source code. To invoke a CLIST as the exit, precede the name with a percent sign (%). Otherwise, Program Generator assumes that the entered name refers to an executable load module. The RAACXL member in the QMFHPO.SRAACLST library contains a sample CLIST exit. If no value is entered in this field, no customization is performed.
Host Variable Customization Exit
Enter the name of an exit to be used to customize the declaration and use of host variables in generated source code. To invoke a CLIST as the exit, precede the name with a percent sign (%). Otherwise, Program Generator assumes that the entered name refers to an executable load module. The RAAHXL member in the QMFHPO.SRAACLST library contains a sample CLIST exit. If no value is entered in this field, no customization is performed.
