Data Selection Status

Special Considerations for DQL Language Queries › Data Selection Status

Data Selection Status

When using DQL Language, if your query or dialog runs longer than permitted by the values specified in the MXREQ and MXTLR fields on the User Table Maintenance Menu, CA Dataquery displays the Data Selection Status panel. An example follows:

Data Selection Status (DQE50)

 =>
 Press the appropriate PF key.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------DQE50
 DATAQUERY:  DATA SELECTION STATUS
 ------------------------------------------------------------------         -----------

    Number of records selected =>


    Press PF3 to end SELECTION and report on only the records selected so far.

    Press PF4 to continue execution of the SELECTION Step.









 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <PF1> HELP     <PF2>  RETURN       <PF3> END SELECT    <PF4> CONTINUE

Panel Description

The Data Selection Status panel shows how many rows have been selected by the execution of the FIND statement in your query or dialog up to this point in the execution of the query. The panel appears because CA Dataquery has paused during execution of your query so that you can indicate whether you want to end the selection step, continue the query selection step, or return to the Online Execution panel.
