Notes

The information you see when you issue the HELP command without the messageid parameter depends on what is on your screen at the time.

From the QMF Home panel:

HELP contains a list of topics about QMF and its commands, and about QMF charts, procedures, reports, and forms.

From a panel with an error message on it:

HELP contains information about the error message.

From other help panels:

HELP contains information about the displayed panel. There are separate sequences of HELP for these panels:

• QUERY
• PROC
• PROFILE
• REPORT
• All form panels
• Database object list
• Global variable list
• Prompted Query
• Table Editor

When you specify a message ID with HELP, information about the message is displayed. For example, if you want to display information about error message DSQ20047, issue the command: HELP DSQ20047. Information about that message is displayed.
