Managing Your Query Library Table › Deleting Queries, Dialogs, and Terms

Deleting Queries, Dialogs, and Terms

See Accessing the Admin DIRECTORY OF QUERIES AND TERMS while reading this section.

To view the query, dialog, or term before deleting it, position the cursor next to the query, dialog, or term name, and press <PF4> EDIT. CA Dataquery then displays the member to be deleted on the Editor panel. Queries, dialogs and terms can also be deleted from the Editor panel.

To delete a query, dialog, or term, access the Administrative DIRECTORY OF QUERIES AND TERMS panel, and position the cursor on the line of the query, dialog, or term that you want to delete and press <PF6> DELETE.

Caution Make sure that the cursor is on the line of the query that you want to delete. If you accidentally delete the wrong item you have to re-create it.

Note: If the query, dialog, or term has been viewed and deleted from the Editor panel, and you wish to undo the delete, you can resave the query, dialog, or term by doing the following:

1. Pressing <PF4> SAVE from the Editor panel.
2. Entering EDIT * or EDIT ACTIVE-QUERY on the command line and pressing Enter to see if the query, dialog, or term is still active.

If it is active you have saved the query, dialog, or term that you just deleted. You must execute this sequence of functions right after the delete. A query remains active until another query is edited or executed.
