QUERY/V Reference Manual

METHOD 2:  QUERY ON LOCAL SYSTEM 

The second method is similar to Method 1 except QUERY is run on the local
system.  First a :FILE command is used to specify the location of the
remote data base.  After initiating execution of QUERY, you specify the
data base name with the DEFINE or DATA BASE= command.  The name of the
data base must be the same as the name specified as the formal file
designator in the :FILE command.

Figure C-2 illustrates Method 2 using DS. After USERL establishes a
communications link and remote session on the remote system, the user
enters a file equation to specify that the data base DBR resides on a
remote system with dsdevice name SYSR. The device type may be omitted if
the default device type is acceptable.  The user runs QUERY on the local
system and specifies the data base name DBR with the DATA-BASE= command.
Note:  The data base name is the formal file designator in the :FILE
command.


          Figure C-2.  Using Method 2 

When using NS, you must have previously issued a :FILE command specifying
the remote location of the file, to access a remote data base and run
QUERY. In the example above, the user would enter:

     :HELLO USERL.ACCTL
     :DSLINE SYSR
     :FILE DBR=DBX:SYSR
     :REMOTE HELLO MEMBER.PAYROLL
     :RUN QUERY.PUB.SYS
