Query Area for InfoSet Query

Use

After starting the InfoSet Query, the initial screen is displayed. The initial screen is divided into three areas, containing all the necessary information to create, change and execute a query. Aside from a few dialog boxes, this is the only screen for the InfoSet Query.

The current InfoSet is displayed in the top left-hand corner of screen. You can choose between three display options:

  • An InfoSet overview tree, containing the field groups that belong to the InfoSet (default setting)

  • Structure of the logical database

  • Field Catalog

You can open another screen area under the InfoSet display, to display technical information on a selected field.

The selections used as options for reading the dataset are displayed in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Selections are criteria according to which the report evaluates the database and generates a result list.

The output preview is displayed in the lower area of the screen, as long as output fields have been selected. You can edit the output at this point. For example, you can change the order of the columns, form totals and subtotals or display the results list of the query.
