<div><p>The Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command supports the OPTION parameter
to determine the type of processing. The default is OPTION(*INP), so the file
is opened for input only. You can also use other OPTION values on the OPNQRYF
command and a high-level language program to add, update, or delete records
through the open query file. </p>
<p> However, if you specify the UNIQUEKEY, GRPFLD, or GRPSLT parameter, use
one of the aggregate functions, or specify multiple files on the FILE parameter,
your use of the file is restricted to input only.</p>
<p>A join logical file is limited to input-only processing. A view is limited
to input-only processing, if group, join, union, distinct processing, or a
user-defined table function is specified in the definition of the view. If
the query optimizer needs to create a temporary file to implement the query,
then the use of the file is restricted to input only.</p>
<div class="p">If you want to change a field value from the current value to a different
value in some of the records in a file, you can use a combination of the OPNQRYF
command and a specific high-level language program. For example, assume that
you want to change all the records where the <em>Flda</em> field is equal to
ABC so that the <em>Flda</em> field is equal to XYZ. You can specify: <pre>OVRDBF FILE(FILEA) SHARE(*YES)
OPNQRYF FILE(FILEA) OPTION(*ALL) QRYSLT('FLDA *EQ "ABC" ')
CALL PGM(PGMA)
CLOF OPNID(FILEA)
DLTOVR FILE(FILEA)</pre>
</div>
<p>Program PGMA processes all records it can read, but the query selection
restricts these to records where the <em>Flda</em> field is equal to ABC. The
program changes the field value in each record to XYZ and updates the record.</p>
<div class="p">You can also delete records in a database file using the OPNQRYF command.
For example, assume that you have a field in your record that,
if equal to X, means the record should be deleted. Your program can be written
to delete any records it reads and use the OPNQRYF command to select those
to be deleted such as: <pre>OVRDBF FILE(FILEA) SHARE(*YES)
OPNQRYF FILE(FILEA) OPTION(*ALL) QRYSLT('DLTCOD *EQ "X" ')
CALL PGM(PGMB)
CLOF OPNID(FILEA)
DLTOVR FILE(FILEA)</pre>
</div>
<p>You can also add records by using the OPNQRYF command. However, if the
query specifications include selection values, your program can be prevented
from reading the added records because of the selection values.</p>
