query utility (Query/38)</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The <span class="keyword">System/38™</span>-compatible
|
||
|
|
query utility (Query/38) can be used with DDM to create and use interactive
|
||
|
|
or batch query applications.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>If the target server is an <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span> or
|
||
|
|
a <span class="keyword">System/38</span>, most of these functions
|
||
|
|
can be performed as though the remote file is a local file. When creating
|
||
|
|
or changing a Query/38 application and the remote file is a logical file,
|
||
|
|
the following consideration applies: either DDM files referring to each remote
|
||
|
|
based-on file must exist on the source server, and the DDM file and library
|
||
|
|
names must match those of the remote based-on files; or, alternatively, physical
|
||
|
|
files with the same file and library names and the same record formats as
|
||
|
|
the remote based-on files must exist on the source server. Because only the
|
||
|
|
record formats are needed from the physical files, they need not contain data.
|
||
|
|
Using this alternative, if the record formats of the remote based-on files
|
||
|
|
are changed, the record formats on the source server must also be changed
|
||
|
|
so that the record formats match.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>If the target system is not an <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> or
|
||
|
|
a <span class="keyword">System/38</span>, you should refer
|
||
|
|
to a local file for the format and fields that describe the data in the remote
|
||
|
|
file, and then use the <span class="cmdname">Override Database File (OVRDBF)</span> command
|
||
|
|
to override the local file with a DDM file when the Query/38 application is
|
||
|
|
run. The
|
||
|
|
local file used to create (or re-create) the query must have the same record
|
||
|
|
format name as the source description of the non-<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> or
|
||
|
|
non-<span class="keyword">System/38</span> target file. The
|
||
|
|
default record format name is the name of the source DDM file.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Although Query/38 can create an application that uses a file on
|
||
|
|
a non-<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> or non-<span class="keyword">System/38</span> system, the default field descriptions
|
||
|
|
created on the source <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> for
|
||
|
|
the non-<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> remote file
|
||
|
|
probably would be too general to be useful. (These files appear to be physical
|
||
|
|
files with one member, whose member name is the same as the file name. The
|
||
|
|
file has one record format and within that format: one field for the entire
|
||
|
|
record, if it is a nonkeyed file; two fields for keyed files, one for the
|
||
|
|
key and one for the remainder of the record; or more than two fields for keyed
|
||
|
|
files with separate key fields.)</p>
