Notes

• If you want to build a new query or procedure using EDIT, reset the query or procedure first to clear the QMF temporary storage area. Do this by issuing the RESET command with the QUERY or PROC parameter.
• If you want to modify an existing query or procedure, first display the query or procedure to bring it into the QMF temporary storage area. Then use the EDIT command to modify the query or procedure.
• After editing your query or procedure, you can file or save your file or data set. This replaces whatever was in QMF temporary storage. If your query or procedure is too large to fit in QMF's temporary storage area, it is stored in a file. If this happens, a message is displayed telling you the name of the file that your procedure or query is in.
• The SAVE command within the editor is not the same as the QMF SAVE command. The editor only saves (or files) to the QMF temporary storage area. If you want the query or procedure to be saved in the database, you must use the QMF SAVE command.
• Although you cannot use the EDIT command in CICS to edit a QMF query or procedure, you can use the QMF DISPLAY or SHOW command to display such an object, and then modify it using QMF.
