Description

This SQL Mode Guided Query panel appears when you select more than one column and condition per table for narrowing your query's search for data. You select columns that contain data you want to use in qualifying the search.

When those conditions are defined, this Multiple Conditions panel appears to allow you to group the conditions into a logical expression using AND, OR, and parentheses ( ) and the number assigned to each condition. CA Dataquery always ands each condition sequentially as the default expression.

Action

Type over the default logical expression with your own expression, using the numbers provided for each condition. Or, accept the default statement by pressing <PF4> CONTINUE.

Display Fields

Refer to the following for explanations of the display fields intended to contain variable data.

QUERY NAME:

Name you assigned this query.

default statement

Default logical expression created by CA Dataquery to group condition statements.

Entry Field

The following describes how you can use the entry field that contains the default statement.

default statement

A default logical expression combining all conditions by adding them together. You can write over this expression to tell CA Dataquery how to apply the qualifying conditions in the search for data.

Columns

Refer to the following chart for a discussion of each column on this panel.

NUMBER

Number CA Dataquery assigned a column and its condition.

COLUMN NAMES/ CONDITIONS

Names of columns/conditions selected for qualifying the search for data.

COMPARISON OPERATOR(S) AND VALUE(S)

Conditions constructed for each column.

Sample

=> --------------------------------------------------------------------------DQH80 DATAQUERY: SELECTION CRITERIA:MULTIPLE CONDITIONS QUERY NAME: MULTI-2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below are the conditions you defined to qualify rows selected from table CAI-RCPTS-REC . Use the logical operators "AND", "OR", "(", and ")" to logically group your conditions. The default statement appears below. You can type over it to change it. => (2 and 3) or (1 and 4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NUMBER| KEY (*) AND COLUMN NAMES |COMPARISON OPERATOR(S) AND VALUE(S) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 | RECEIPT-ID | GT 1 02 | REC-QTY | GTE 1 03 | ITM-ID | EQ 999 04 | REC-YR | EQ 86 | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <PF1> HELP <PF2> RETURN <PF3> NOT USED <PF4> CONTINUE <PF5> NOT USED <PF6> DISPLAY QUERY <PF7> BACKWARD <PF8> FORWARD

The preceding example tells CA Dataquery to retrieve only data from the CAI-RCPTS-REC table rows that contain a REC-QTY greater than or equal to 1 AND an ITM-ID equal to 999 OR rows that contain a RECEIPT-ID greater than 1 AND a REC-YR equal to 86.
