You can use this command to change your mode of access to the primary
data base. If the MODE= command is entered, QUERY first closes the
current primary data base before attempting to open the data base
with the new access mode.

text
>MODE=6''
>AD INVENTORY''
ILLEGAL ACCESS''
>MODE=3''
>AD INVENTORY''
STOCK# =>>6650D22S
ONHANDQTY =>>11
SUPPLIER =>>H & S SURPLUS
UNIT-COST =>>1395
LASTSHIPDATE =>>121585
BINNUM =>>3
STOCK# =>>//

In the example above, mode 6 is specified. Since mode 6
does not allow write access to the primary data base, the user must
change to a mode which allows such access. Then QUERY allows
the addition of an INVENTORY entry.
