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 "Using Method 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:
