Using QMF

Information about your editor

You can insert a QMF report into a document while using one of the following products:

• XEDIT
• ISPF-PDF
• PROFS
• PS/TSO
• CMS NOTE facility

XEDIT

When you use XEDIT, the QMF report is inserted in your document after the current line. The new current line is the last line of the inserted report. This is similar to the XEDIT GET command.

You cannot go from XEDIT to interactive QMF through the document interface and then start another XEDIT session by using the CMS XEDIT command. Your original XEDIT environment is lost when you exit QMF.

ISPF-PDF

ISPF-PDF is available in both VM and OS/390. When you use ISPF-PDF, the QMF report is inserted into your document after the line where you enter A, or before the line where you enter B in the prefix area. If you do not choose a line, the report is inserted at the end of the document. The top line displayed after insertion is the line that immediately precedes the inserted report. This is similar to the ISPF-PDF COPY command.

PROFS

IBM PROFS uses XEDIT to edit documents. QMF reports are inserted in PROFS documents in the same way as in XEDIT.

The following procedure is unique for PROFS:

1. To insert a QMF report into a PROFS NOTE, press PA2 to interrupt PROFS.
2. Enter GETQMF with the appropriate parameters from the PROFS interrupt screen command line. The QMF report is stored in the file QMF REPORT A1.
3. Return to the PROFS NOTE panel.
4. Following the line where you want to insert the report, enter:

   .GF QMF REPORT
   

For information on PROFS and the .GF command, refer to Using PROFS Version 2.

There is a limit of eight characters for each parameter when you enter the GETQMF macro and parameters from the PROFS interrupt panel.

PS/TSO

If you are using the Personal Services for TSO Extensions (PS/TSO), you are using the ISPF-PDF editor. The information that was previously given for ISPF-PDF applies here.

CMS NOTE

If you are using CMS NOTE, you are using XEDIT. See the information for XEDIT.
