Deleting Panels

CA Dataquery allows you to delete a panel that is no longer valid. CA Dataquery does not allow you to delete an American English panel.

Procedure

During the deletion procedure, the Directory of Panels is displayed. Use one of the following procedures to locate the panel you want to delete.

There are several ways you can locate a panel once you have displayed the Directory of Panels.

The following lists panel locations and their descriptions.

<PF7> and <PF8>

You can use <PF7> to page the Directory of Panels backward and <PF8> to page forward.

+ and -

Page through the directory using the plus and minus sign. For example, entering +20 scrolls forward 20 pages and -20 scrolls backward 20 pages.

TOP and BOTTOM

You can use the TOP and BOTTOM commands. TOP takes you to the first panel of the directory and BOTTOM takes you to the end of the directory.

START WITH

If you know the name of the panel you are searching for, you can use the START WITH field on the Directory of Panels. This field allows you to specify one to three characters with which CA Dataquery can begin searching for a panel name. If you know the panel name, you can specify the last three characters of the name and press Enter. CA Dataquery scrolls that panel name to the top of the display. If you specify one or two characters, CA Dataquery locates the first panel which contains those characters and scrolls it to the top of the directory.

If no panel is located with those characters, CA Dataquery scrolls you to the next greater name on the Directory of Panels.

Operation

Before you can begin deleting, you must first sign on to CA Dataquery and display the LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE MENU. For exact instructions on displaying the LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE MENU, see Getting Started Using the Language Maintenance Facility.

Use the following steps to delete a panel.

Step 1:

On the LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE MENU select Option 1, PANELS and enter the language code of the panel you want to delete. CA Dataquery limits selection to panels which contain that language code. If you do not enter a language code, CA Dataquery defaults to ALL languages on the system. After making all desired entries press Enter.

LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE MENU (DQLN0)

=> ------------------------------------------------------------------------DQLN0 DATAQUERY: LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE MENU ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENTER DESIRED OPTION NUMBER ===> 1 LANGUAGE CODE===> ES (default ALL) 1. PANELS - Translate, edit, delete, and display panels 2. LITERALS - Translate, edit, delete, and display program literals 3. VOCABULARY - Translate, edit, delete, and display vocabulary terms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <PF1> HELP <PF2> RETURN

Step 2:

CA Dataquery displays the Directory of Panels. Column 1 contains the panel name, column 2 contains the language code, column 3 contains the description, column 4 contains the PF key legend and column 5 lists the number of columns. After you have located the panel you want to delete, move the cursor down beside the panel name and press <PF5> DELETE. If you try to delete an American English panel you receive an error message.
