QUERY searches the current Proc-file
and executes the procedure named in the command. If the Proc-file has
not been declared, the procedure does not exist in the Proc-file,
or the procedure is incorrect in some way, you are informed by an
error message. For more information on storing and using procedures,
refer to the CREATE command.
If null data values appear in the procedure, QUERY prompts you for the
necessary values. In job mode, you must anticipate the prompts and
supply the necessary values on separate lines in the job file.
Refer to "Using Null Values" under the FIND command for further
discussion.
The MULTIFIND procedure uses either SERIAL READ or SORT/MERGE to retrieve
data. QUERY will print a message to inform you of the method used.
Refer to the MULTIFIND command for more information on methods of
retrieval.
