Previous Topic: Modifying Your Qfile Definition SyntaxNext Topic: Step 2 - Modify the SALARY Qfile Definition


Step 1 - Switch to IDD

In this step, you suspend your current CA OLQ session and transfer to the Integrated Data Dictionary (IDD).

Select Edit and the SALARY qfile.

CA OLQ Release nn.n *** QFILE Processing *** -> Page 1 of 1 140000 Select function and press the ENTER key User: SYB Dictionary name: TSTDICT Dictionary node: Function: _ Execute _ Create _ Replace _ Delete _ Execute with new criteria _ List x Edit _ Execute batch Routine name: Version: Comments: SELECT ROUTINE VERSION COMMENTS _ DEPARTMENT 1 _ MANAGERS 1 _ NEW EMPLOYEES 1 _ SALARY GRADE 1 SALARY SUMMARY COMPUTATIONS x SALARY 1 EXAMPLE 1=HELP 3=QUIT 4=MESSAGE 6=MENU

Note: When you first see the qfile definition, erase the first three lines (those that sign you on to IDD, specify the dictionary name, and display the qfile). After you have erased these lines, your first line should begin with the verb MODIFY. If you don't do this, IDD will see DISPLAY as the first verb when you press [Enter], and will redisplay the qfile (without the changes you have made).

In this example, VERB MODIFY means that the qfile definition can be updated. Press [PF8] to scroll to the next page.
