How You Start QBF from the Operating System
The command and command line syntax you use to start QBF at the operating system prompt determines the starting QBF phase:
• Using the QBF command without a query target starts QBF in the query definition phase. From the query definition phase, you can then move to the query execution phase.
• Using the QBF command with a specified query target starts QBF in the query execution phase.
• Using the query command, which requires specification of a query target, starts QBF in the query execution phase.
For more information on the QBF and query commands and their parameters, see the chapter “System Commands for the Forms-based Tools.”
