Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results for Windows

> ## Saving a query

> Once you create a query, you can save and reuse the query whenever you want to access the same information in your database.

> | To save a query:

> 1. Choose Query Save. The Save As dialog box appears:

> 2. Type a short description for the query.

> The description can consist of up to 48 alphanumeric characters and spaces. You’ll use the query description to locate and open queries, so pick a description that reflects the type of query you create. For example, you might type Customer Orders for a query that accesses all the orders for each customer in the Customer table.

> Note: Results lets you use descriptions to locate and access query files, so you are not limited to eight-character filenames. However, Results automatically generates filenames for these files so that your computer can store and access them properly. The query directory (`.qd7`) file contains a directory that maps the descriptions you provide with the actual filenames Results generates. See the OpenEdge Reporting: Query/Results Administration and Development for more information about the query directory.

> 3. Choose OK.

> Once you have saved a query, you can use the Save As command to save the query without changing its description.
