Using QMF

Making changes to the rows in a table

  1. On the Table Editor Change panel, type the changes to that row.

    You can change information in any field that is enclosed in parentheses. In the example that is shown here, you can change the information in any field but the ACCTNO field.

    You can display the default settings for the fields by using the Show Field PF key.

    To change a value to the default value for a field, if a default value is available, type the default indicator in the field.

    To remove changes you type and return the original data to the fields, press the Refresh function key.

    To see the next row without making changes to this row, press the Next function key.

    To select another set of rows, press the Show Search function key.

  2. Press the Change function key.

If you specified that you want to save each row when you press the Change function key (SAVE=IMMEDIATE), QMF adds the changes to the table.

If you specified that you want to hold all the rows and save them when you end the Table Editor session (SAVE=END), the new row is held temporarily until you end the Table Editor session.

If there are more rows to display from the set you selected, the Table Editor Change panel displays.

If there are no more rows that are left to display, the Table Editor Search panel displays.
