Prompted query objects

This section refers to the external format of relational prompted queries.

An exported prompted query object contains the information displayed in the echo area of the Prompted Query primary panel. Exported Prompted Query files, data sets, or CICS data queues can either be imported into the QMF temporary storage area or directly into the database. When you import a prompted query, QMF checks to see whether the incoming query is consistent with the data in the database. For example, if the prompted query being imported has columns A, B, and C in table XYZ, QMF verifies that table XYZ with columns A, B, and C exists in the database.

For a list of table and field numbers associated with prompted query objects, see Table and field numbers for the prompted query object.
