Running a Query for iSeries query
Running a query consists of telling Query for iSeries to use the query definition to acquire the data you
want from selected files, to organize the data into a report format, and then to either display the report,
print it, or store it in a database file.
To run a query, you can:
v Press F5 (Report) while creating, displaying, or changing your query. This runs the query and displays
the report.
v Choose option 2 (Run an existing query) on the Query menu.
v Type a 1 (Run interactively) or a 2 (Run in batch) in the Run option prompt on the Exit This Query
display.
v Type an 8 (Run in batch) or a 9 (Run) in the Option prompt on the Work with Queries display.
v Use the Run Query (RUNQRY) command.
Using function key F5 when running a Query for iSeries query
If dependent values are not used in record selection tests, you can run a query at any time by pressing F5
(Report) while you are creating, changing, or displaying it. Your query runs immediately, the report is
displayed, and you can see what the report looks like and how any changes you make affect it.
Running a Query for iSeries query from the Query for iSeries menu
You can run an existing query by selecting option 2 (Run an existing query) on the Query menu. This
causes the RUNQRY (Run Query) command help display to appear. For more information on using the
RUNQRY command, see the CL Reference information in the iSeries Information Center and “Running a
Query for iSeries query using the RUNQRY command” on page 171 of this book.
Running a Query for iSeries query from the Exit This Query display
When you finish creating or changing a query, the Exit This Query display is shown.
Exit This Query
Type choices, press Enter.
Save definition . . . Y Y=Yes, N=No
Run option...... 1 1=Run interactively
2=Run in batch
3=Do not run
For a saved definition:
Query ....... __________ Name
Library ..... QGPL Name, F4 for list
Text ....... _______________________________________
Authority ..... *LIBCRTAUT *LIBCRTAUT, *CHANGE, *ALL
*EXCLUDE, *USE
authorization list name
F4=Prompt F5=Report F12=Cancel F13=Layout
F14=Define the query
Query assumes that you want to save your query, so it usually supplies a Y (Yes) in response to the Save
definition prompt. Run option is a profile option, and whatever you selected the last time you exited a
query is the default until you select a different value. However, Query supplies a 3 (Do not run) for the Run
option prompt when your query has an error.
