Creating Query Classifications and Explanations

With the Query Classification and Explanation screen, you can create and modify classifications for your query as well as text explanations of the query that can be printed in the header of the output.

To create classifications and an explanation for a query, enter 9 in the Opt field for that query on the Work with Queries screen (STRFW > 14 > 1) as shown in Creating and Running Queries.

The screen also appears in the process of adding or modifying queries if the Explanation field on the Exit Query Definition screen is set to Y (as shown in Adding and Modifying Queries).
