CA Dataquery in the CA Datacom System › System Defaults

System Defaults

The system defaults are defined in the DQOPTLST macro and are stored in the CA Dataquery System Option Table at installation time. How your site defines the parameters in the DQOPTLST macro will impact your users. Assist your Database Administrator in choosing appropriate values for the parameters defined in the System Option Table.
