Using a RANGE Panel

If you press <PF5> RANGE/LIST with the cursor on a numeric variable, CA Dataquery presents a range of valid numbers if one was defined by the dialog or JCL PROC author. The following sample range was defined for the ZIP CODE variable shown on the previous dialog example.

 =>

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------DQER0
 PROMPT:
 ENTER A ZIP CODE IN THE RANGE SHOWN BELOW



 RANGE     FROM 75000
           TO 75081


 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <PF1>  HELP         <PF2>  RETURN       <PF3>  NOT USED    <PF4>  NOT USED

Your cursor is positioned at the beginning of a field where you can enter a number. Enter a number within the range shown or press the RETURN key to redisplay the prompt panel. Leave the default number or type in a number within the range shown on the range panel.
