Query for iSeries query exercise: Creating an advanced query

In the following example, you create a file named

QRYFILE by using the Display Object Description

(DSPOBJD) command. The file contains descriptions of all the objects that currently reside in the QGPL
library. Then, using several of Query’s definition step options, you create a query definition that obtains
information from

QRYFILE and creates a report showing that information.

Note: This example does not explain the DSPOBJD command and its parameters. For additional

information, see the CL Reference information in the iSeries Information Center.
