Discussion

QUERY searches the current Proc-file and executes the procedure named in the command. If the Proc-file has not been declared, or the procedure does not exist in the Proc-file, or the procedure is incorrect in some way, you are informed by an error message.

If null data values appear in the procedure, QUERY prompts you for the necessary values. Refer to the FIND command for further discussion of null data values. For more information about storing and using SUBSET procedures, refer to the CREATE command.
