FSVIEW Procedure Windows

Selecting Variables for FSVIEW Operations

The CREATE, DROP, and SHOW commands in the FSVIEW window can open the Select Table Variables window so that you can select which variables from the displayed data set are included in the specified operation. The Select Table Variables window is a convenient alternative to entering variable names as command arguments.

The Select Table Variables Window shows a typical Select Table Variables window.

[The Select Table Variables Window]

The Select Table Variables window includes lists of the available and selected variables, along with control objects for moving either individual variables or all variables between the lists. Use the single-arrow controls to move individual variables, and use the double-arrow controls to move all variables.

Below each list are control objects that you can use to change the relative position of variables within the list (for commands like SHOW where the order of variables in the list is significant). To change the order of the variables within one of the lists, select the variable you want to move. Then select the corresponding up-arrow control to move the variable toward the top of the list, or select the down-arrow control to move it toward the bottom. As an added feature, the type, size, and label of the selected variable are displayed in the Variable Details section whenever you select a variable in either list.

After you have moved all the desired variables to the Selected list, select OK to complete the operation. You can select Cancel to cancel the operation.
