Query for iSeries Use V5R2 | IBM SC41-5210-04 specification

After you have confirmed the fields you want by pressing the Enter key a second time without making any changes to your sequence choices, Query completes this step and takes you back to the Define the Query display so that you can continue with other query tasks. If you previously selected more options on the Define the Query display, Query shows you the first display for the next option.
