DMQUERY utility commands are case-insensitive.

You terminate a command with a semicolon (;) character.

When interacting with the DMQUERY utility, the end of a transmission also acts as a command terminator. You can transmit multiple commands in a single transmission. If the DMQUERY utility encounters a percent sign, it ignores the rest of the transmission.

In a DO file, the end of a record does not act as a command terminator. That is, commands are automatically continued across record boundaries. If the DMQUERY utility encounters a percent sign, it ignores the rest of the record.

Tokens enclosed in square brackets are optional.
