The cancel query feature allows users to stop their slow or incorrect queries. If the query does not return records within a given number of seconds (the timeout period), a dialog box appears, which allows the user to cancel the query. The cancel query feature is enabled through the CancelQueryTimeOut parameter in the [SWE] section of the application configuration file (CFG). To enable the cancel query feature 1. Open your application's configuration file, for example uagent.cfg. 2. Change the CancelQueryTimeOut parameter to CancelQueryTimeOut = timeout where timeout is any integer of zero or greater. For example, if CancelQueryTimeOut = 3, the cancel query dialog box appears if records are not returned within 3 seconds. NOTE: A timeout value of less than zero, for example, -1, disables the feature *from TIP of the Day by Anil S Kumar, IBM
