Starting another FM/Db2 editor session

When you are in a File Manager/Db2 editor session, you can start another FM/Db2 editor session by issuing the BROWSE, EDIT, VIEW, or REDIT primary commands.

BROWSE, EDIT, VIEW commands

The BROWSE, EDIT, and VIEW primary commands start another FM/Db2 editor session and display the Browse, Edit, or View entry panel respectively.

The new FM/Db2 editor session is stacked on top of the current FM/Db2 editor session. If you specify a Db2® object owner and Db2® object name, the owner and name fields are pre-filled on the entry panel for the new FM/Db2 editor session.

Note: To start a File Manager/Db2 editor session in Browse mode from the Primary Option Menu panel, enter the abbreviated form of the BROWSE command, B, on the command line.

Examples:

VIEW

Starts a new FM/Db2 editor session, in View mode.

BRO DSN8910.EMP

Starts a new FM/Db2 editor session, in Browse mode. The owner field is set to 'DSN8910' and the name field is set to 'EMP', on the Browse entry panel for the new editor session.

EDIT EMP

Starts a new FM/Db2 editor session, in Edit mode. The name field is set to 'EMP', on the Edit entry panel for the new editor session.

To exit the new FM/Db2 editor session and return to the current FM/Db2 editor session, press the End or CANCEL key.

REDIT command

The REDIT primary command displays information about tables related by a Db2® referential integrity (RI) constraint, to the Db2® object currently being edited. The command is context and cursor sensitive.
