How to Nest Terms

You can use defined terms as part of another term definition. You can nest terms (terms within terms) up to eight levels deep if the Language Maintenance Facility is not being used. CA Dataquery does not edit the contents of the term until it is used as part of a query. As a result, CA Dataquery does not recognize some errors until all levels of nested terms are processed. To make sure nested terms are valid, create a test query and edit it using the term.
