Defining Informix CLI Output Data
When you read data from an Informix® data source, the Informix CLI stage has an output link. The properties of this link and the column definitions of the data are defined on the Output page in the Informix CLI Stage dialog box.
The Output page has an Output name field and the General Columns, Selection and SQL tabs. The tabs displayed depend on how you specify the SQL statement to output the data. The Columns... and View Data... buttons function identically to those on the Input page.
- Output name. The name of the output link. Choose the link you want to edit from the Output name drop-down list box. This list box displays all the output links.
- Click Columns... to display a brief list of the columns designated on the input link. As you enter detailed metadata in the Columns tab, you can leave this list displayed.
- Click View Data... to invoke the Data Browser. This enables you to look at the data associated with the output link.
