Browse and Edit function

This section describes the File-AID for Db2 Browse and Edit functions. The Browse function lets you display a table or view, either in its entirety or by selected rows and fields. You can specify the rows you want to see or indicate that you want certain areas excluded. You cannot, however, make any changes to the table or view.

The Edit function provides all of the capabilities of the Browse function, and also allows you to update the data. Because the Browse and Edit screens are so similar, this chapter shows only the Edit version of the screens.

These functions also enable you to browse and edit multiple tables in a single session. The Related Table Browse and Edit function enables you to browse and edit multiple tables related through Db2 referential integrity or through a user-defined application relationship. This function is described in detail in Related-Table-Browse-and-Edit-function. You can also browse and edit multiple tables that are unrelated. Information on working with unrelated tables is presented in this section.
