How to Save a Set of Commands as a Qfile › Modifying Your Qfile Definition

Modifying Your Qfile Definition

When you modify a qfile, CA OLQ overlays your IDD qfile definition with the commands used to build your current report. Using this feature, you can:

• Execute an existing qfile, change the report, and replace the qfile
• Execute a qfile, change the report, and save it as a different qfile
• Create a new report from scratch and save it under the name of an existing qfile

In this example, you modify the SALARY qfile using the following steps:

1. Establish a current report by executing the SALARY qfile
2. Modify the report definition to suppress the display of detail lines (those not containing any summary calculations)
3. Replace the qfile, overriding the current SALARY qfile definition with the commands used to build the summary report
