Accessing Query Definition from IDE |
The Query Definition task on the IDE Main Launcher is used for creating or editing a Standard Query or a Query List definition.
To select this task, expand the Graphical Application Builder (NOMADS) category on the Menu list. This task opens the New/Existing Query window, which is used to specify a library, the name of a new or existing query, and the query type (if creating a new query).
(The Query Definition task was added in PxPlus 2023 Update 1.)
This window consists of the following:
Library |
Defaults to the Default Library defined for the current project. If a default library was not defined, this will be blank. Enter the name of the library file or click the Query button. |
Name |
Enter the name of the query or click the drop-down arrow to select from a list of the existing queries in the library. If the query name does not exist, you will be able to create the new query when you click Ok. Note: |
Type |
Type of query, either Standard Query or Query List. See Query Type. For an existing query, the type is shown and is disabled. For a new query, this field is enabled when a Name is entered and defaults to Standard Query but can be changed. |
Ok |
For an existing query, launches Query Definition (if Type is Standard Query) or launches Query List Definition (if Type is Query List). For a new query, launches Query Header Definition (if Type is Standard Query) or launches Query Definition - File information (if Type is Query List). |
Cancel |
Closes the New/Existing Query window with no further action taken. |
