Variable values that you can change appear within parentheses. To change a variable value, type over the displayed value and press Enter.
Some DSQ variables have a restricted set of acceptable values. For example, the variable DSQDC_COST_EST (which controls the display of the database cost estimate) must have a value of either 0 or 1. See the global variable tables in the QMF Reference, SC26-4716-05 or Developing QMF Applications, SC26-4722-05 for more information.
If the variable value is too long to be displayed completely (indicated by a greater-than sign (>) in the right margin), or if you want to change a variable to a value greater than 50 bytes, move the cursor to the line containing the variable name. Then, press the Show Field function key.
This displays the Show Global Variable panel, and the entire variable value appears in a scrollable area.
