If you export to a transient data queue, the queue must be open, enabled
and empty before you issue the EXPORT command. For information about CICS
transient data queues, see the CICS/ESA Application Programming Guide.
If the specified CICS data queue already exists, its contents are replaced
with the exported object. See Developing QMF Applications for a detailed description
of the formats of objects that are exported.
An empty or partial CICS data queue can result if there is an error in
the execution of the EXPORT command.
In some cases, if the object is exported to the same data queue from which
the current data was imported, you might receive an Incomplete Data prompt.
At the prompt, choose the option NO and export the object to a different data
queue.
When a form is exported, all parts of the form are exported.
However
QMF will drop any FORM.DETAIL panel variations that were not modified from
their default values In this manner, unwanted FORM.DETAIL variations can be
dropped by exporting and then importing the same form.
If you are exporting a report or chart, and the form is incompatible with
the data or contains errors, the first form panel containing an error is displayed
with the error highlighted. To see other errors, correct the currently displayed
error and press the Check key.
