Notes
- QMF objects can be shared with other users by saving them in
the database with the SHARE=YES option of the QMF SAVE command.
- QMF administrative authority does not extend to the RUN command.
QMF objects saved in the database with the SHARE=NO option cannot
be run directly by a QMF Administrator. However prior to the RUN
command a QMF Administrator can use the DISPLAY command to bring
any of these objects into temporary storage.
- Any variables used within a QMF query or procedure object must
have their values provided before the RUN command will execute.
A prompt panel will be displayed to gather values for any variables
not already specified by either:
- an &variable option as part of the command
- a previously set global variable
- A QMF procedure that contains QMF commands in English can be
run in any QMF session when the global variable DSQEC_NLFCMD_LANG
is set to 1. However, if it was saved in any other QMF national
language, it can be run only in a session of that same national
language.
- When you use the RUN command, QMF updates the object's Last
Used date. This date, which appears in the database object list,
indicates when you last accessed or ran a particular QMF object.
QMF updates this field once each day for each object, the first
time it is used.
- QMF procedure or query object comments cannot be processed as
variables. Do not use two consecutive dashes (--) in variable values.
They will be treated as part of the command or query to be run,
not as comments.
- QMF procedures with logic (REXX procedures) are not supported
in a CICS environment.
