The following characteristics apply to all commands.

  • Command names can be spelled out completely or abbreviated. The minimum abbreviation is specified in the syntax under each command. In most cases, any subset of the characters between the full command name and the abbreviation may be used. For example, the syntax of the FORM command specifies FO[RM]. In this case, any of the following may be used: FORM, FOR, or FO. Refer to "Conventions Used in This Manual" for an explanation of the symbols used in the syntax in this manual.

  • Commands consist of English keywords and parameters (both required and optional).

  • QUERY processes only the first 72 characters of a line (record). Any remaining characters can be used for comments or sequencing information.

  • If the command you want to enter is longer than 72 characters, you can continue it on the next line by using an ampersand (&) as the last character on the current line. QUERY combines all lines connected with the & continuation character. Any blanks preceding the & are saved. Therefore, if you break a command name or other parameter with an &, the & should be adjacent to the last significant character with no intervening blanks. If a blank is necessary, it can be included at the beginning of the next line.

Refer to Table 2-1 "Command Categories and Functions" for a list of QUERY commands and their functions.

NOTE: During an actual session, passwords are not echoed back to the screen. The examples in this manual are shown in uppercase letters. When using QUERY, you can use either lower or uppercase letters except for passwords which must be entered exactly as defined by the data base administrator.
