Issue/Introduction
There may be a need for a user to generate a SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE or INSERT SQL statements in order to carry out some data update on a TABLE or via a VIEW.
Resolution
When using the TABLE or VIEW LIST functions where records have been returned to the screen from the catalog, there are four line commands available.
SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE and INSERT.

These commands can be used individually against a table or view.
The commands generate a statement containing all the columns from the catalog so that the SQL can be edited if required.
The commands transfer control to ISQL Online SQL Execution screen so that actions can be taken with the generated SQL.
Any changes needed can be done using the E - Edit SQL on the ISQL screen menu.
This starts up the ISQL Editor. If ISPF edit is desired then the ISPFEDIT command will initiate the edit from the ISQL Editor.
Example SELECT statement.
The SELECT statement generated contains the columns from the table but no WHERE clause.
