Editing the template for the "From" table
If you select the Edit template option on the Copy Utility
Frompanel, FM/Db2 displays the Column Selection/Edit panel (Primary Column Selection/Edit panel). You can use this panel to restrict the data in the
Fromtable that you want copied by:
- Selecting (or deselecting) specific columns for copying.
- Specifying row selection criteria. Only rows whose contents satisfy the criteria are selected for copying.
For example, the template shown in Primary Column Selection/Edit panel has
been edited to select certain columns and only rows whose contents meet certain
criteria. If you use this template as the
Fromtemplate for your Copy, the data copied is restricted to columns where WORKDEPT contains
MNTand JOB contains
PAINTER.
