The name of the server you are currently working with is displayed in the DATABASE field in the upper left corner of the screen.
An alphabetically sorted scrollable list of Help Subjects available is displayed in the body of the screen. By typing the associated subject number in the TOPIC field and pressing ENTER, a display of information on that subject is presented for viewing. Backward and forward as well as top and bottom scrolling are available where applicable.
Text for the Help Facility is located in the database in the PUBLIC.SQMHELP DBSPACE in the SQLMSTR.SQMHELP table. |The list of topics and their order may change from one release of |Control Center to another due to the addition of new topics.
In most cases, the text provided is identical to that displayed when F1 (HELP) is entered from many of the Control Center screens.
