Browsing and editing data

By using the data browsing and data editing functions, you can browse, edit, or create data in tables, and in views with the following general characteristics:

  • The view is created from a single table.
  • The column names in the view are the same as in the table.

You can also browse data contained in large object (LOB) columns and materialized query tables (MQTs).

Catalog Manager enables you to display rows either horizontally or vertically, issue common ISPF commands and new Catalog Manager commands, and use host variables to manage your data easily.

By using the COPY feature of data editing, you can populate newly created tables and views quickly and avoid the need for utilities.

For a list of the commands that you can use with the browsing and data editing features, see Commands.
