Using QMF


Saving the report form

If you want to display a report in the same format again, you can save your form in the database in one of the following ways:

If you are on the FORM panel, enter:

SAVE

QMF prompts you for the name you want to assign to the form.

You can also enter:

SAVE AS formname
 

Where formname is the name you want to assign to the form.

If you are on a panel other than the FORM panel, enter:

SAVE FORM

QMF prompts you for the name you want to assign to the form.

You can also enter:

SAVE FORM AS formname

If you want to save your form and share it with other users, add the SHARE=YES parameter to the SAVE command you are using as follows:

SAVE (SHARE=YES
SAVE AS formname (SHARE=YES
SAVE FORM (SHARE=YES
SAVE FORM AS formname (SHARE=YES

QMF saves your form in the database. If you issue a SET GLOBAL command with the value DSQEC_SHARE=1 prior to issuing a SAVE command, you do not need to use the SHARE=YES parameter.

To use this report form again when you run a query, enter:

RUN QUERY queryname (FORM=formname

The data in a query must fit the form you use, or the report will not display.
