Step 3 - Save the report as a Qfile

You now save your report as a qfile. CA OLQ takes all of the commands used to build the current report and saves them in a qfile definition in the data dictionary.

Start on the Qfile Processing screen. To get there, type qfile in the command line.

Select Create. Specify salary next to Routine name. Add any descriptive comments you would like to be shown on the screen.
