Can a Query write its output to a *memory* file?
« on: October 28, 2019, 11:43:22 AM »
Hello Forum :

          We are starting to get some of our major files properly defined in the PxPlus Data Dictionary. In so doing, we are beginning to see how powerful and quick that defined Queries can be. Can a defined Query have its output sent to a *memory* file?  Thanks, Bill.

Bill,
You can open a query-based file using *QUERY*. For details, see:
https://manual.pvxplus.com/page/file_handling/~query~.htm

For example:
OPEN(channel,OPT="KNO=0")"*QUERY*;MYQUERY;MYLIB"
