Description

CA Dataquery displays the values for each profile item that were assigned as defaults, or those that were later specified by the CA Dataquery Administrator or by you.

Action

You can change any profile item, but you should ensure that the values meet site standards. For example, if you specify a network printer ID that is not a valid ID, you cannot receive printed output.

When you change your own profile, the changes take effect immediately. The Datadictionary database ID always reverts back to the site default when you sign off. The SQL Authorization ID returns to the default when you sign off.

Profile Items

A discussion of each profile item follows:

DATADICTIONARY DATABASE ID

(Required) Enter the CA Datacom/DB database ID that specifies the Datadictionary database to be accessed. The database specified must be a Datadictionary database accessible to CA Dataquery. CA Dataquery supplies the CA Datacom/DB database ID from the System Option Table.

LIST AND DISPLAY ALIASES

(Required) Enter YES or NO. Specify YES to include Datadictionary aliases in the Directory of DQL Tables, and Keys and Columns Display panels. NO excludes Datadictionary aliases from these display panels. (See the CA Dataquery end user documentation for details on these panels.)

GROUP DISPLAY

(Required) Enter YES or NO. Determines the way a compound field is displayed on a report. If you specify YES, fields making up the compound field are shown as individual fields. When you specify NO, a compound field is shown as a single alphanumeric field, even though one or more of the simple fields contained in the compound field is a numeric field which cannot be printed. If an invalid value is entered, the parameter defaults to NO.

SUPPRESS DUPLICATE COLUMNS

(Required) Enter YES or NO. Determines if duplicate values for columns specified as control break columns are suppressed in the generated report. If you specify YES, the value contained in a control break column is displayed only once. Each time the value in the control break column changes, the new value is displayed. If the output continues to the top of a new page, the current value in the control break column is displayed at the top of the new page.

SUPPRESS PFKEYS ON PRINT

(Required) Enter YES or NO. Specify YES to suppress the PF key descriptions on the print panel that displays the report. NO causes the PF keys descriptions to be displayed.

SUPPRESS EXECUTE PANEL

(Required) Enter YES or NO. Specify YES to suppress the display of the Online Execution Query panel. NO causes the Online Execute Query panel to be displayed. A user would want to suppress the display of the Online Execution Query panel if their queries always read and collect data and display it on their terminals. Suppressing the display saves a step during the execution process by accepting the execution defaults.

PRIMARY LANGUAGE

(Required) Enter 2 characters. Specifies the primary language to be used during the current CA Dataquery session. A valid 2-character entry overrides the language specified in the System Option Table at installation. (AE American English is the default if no other language is specified on the System Option Table.)

SECONDARY LANGUAGE

(Required) Enter 2 characters. Specifies the secondary language to be used during the current CA Dataquery session. A valid 2-character entry overrides the language specified in the System Option Table at installation. (AE American English is the default if no other language is specified on the System Option Table.)

DECIMAL POINT CHARACTER

(Optional) Enter 1 character. Specifies the decimal point character for this ID. The default is the value of the DECPT= parameter in the System Option Table.

QUERY LANGUAGE

(Required) Enter either DQL or SQL. Specifies the query language to be used for this ID. Y (yes) must have been specified on the User Table Maintenance in the field SQL AND DQL ALLOWED for the user to be able to change from DQL to SQL in this field.

SQL AUTHORIZATION ID

(Required) Enter a 1- to 18-character authorization ID. Specifies the SQL authorization ID for execution of SQL statements for this ID.

When the SQL authorization ID is changed by the PROFILE or AUTHID command, it changes only on the user profile, and not on the User Table. The private SQL authorization ID attaches to the table name regardless of the authid in use during creation of the table. When the DISPLAY, LIST, EXECUTE, or CREATE functions are used, the profile authid is used.

ASSOCIATE USER ERRORS

(Optional) Enter YES to display normal end-user validation errors for the associate user. Enter NO to display only DQ244E when errors occur. DQ244E states only that the user is attempting to execute a query that has an error.
