This display shows the query name(s) you chose to delete. (The above display shows some sample
information.) Carefully check the names.
If you are sure you want to delete the queries listed, press the Enter key. The queries are deleted. If
you selected the queries to be deleted from a list of queries, the deleted query name(s) are no longer
included when you return to the Work with Queries display.
If you decide you do not want to delete one of the queries shown, press F12 (Cancel) to return to the
Work with Queries display without deleting any queries. The list of queries is still displayed and you can
change any of your selections.
If Query finds an error while deleting the queries, the list of queries being deleted is shown and an error
message appears on the bottom of the display. The query that has the error is highlighted and appears at
the top of the list. Any queries that were before that query in the list have already been successfully
deleted. You can do either of the following:
v Press F9 (Reset) without pressing the Enter key. The delete process is canceled for all remaining
queries, including the query in error.
v Press F20 (Cancel delete in error) without pressing the Enter key. The query in error is not deleted, but
the delete process continues for the remaining queries. If an error is found while deleting one of the
remaining queries, another error message is shown and the list is shown again with that query listed
first and highlighted.
Displaying a Query for iSeries query definition
When you display a query, Query does not allow you to make any changes. Each query is saved with a
CCSID. You cannot display a query if your job CCSID is not compatible with the query CCSID. They are
compatible if one CCSID is 65535, the job and query CCSIDs are the same, or one can be converted to
the other.
Note: See “Displaying a Query for iSeries query” on page 249 for more information on CCSIDs and how
they affect processing a query.
