This tells Query for iSeries to test the field named STATE in each record for the value LA. Only records
with that value will be included in your report. (If you are using a unique weight system sort sequence
table or *HEX, make sure you type it as
’LA’ because the apostrophes tell the program that LA is
what the field contains and not the field name. You must also type this value in all uppercase letters
because that is the way it is specified in the field. If you have any doubt about the case of the data in
the database, you should use a shared weight table.)
8. Press F5 (Report) to run the query and show the report. F5 lets you see the effect your query
changes have on the report before you actually save those changes.
The report appears listing only customers in Louisiana (only the left portion of the report is shown on
the following display):
