Displaying the data

The Hold on output dialog checkbox controls whether the macro runtime immediately goes on to process the next macro action after displaying the Query Results dialog:

• If the checkbox is selected, then the macro runtime:
  1. Displays the Query Results dialog with three buttons:
     • Save Results
     • Continue
     • Close and Continue
  2. Does not go on to process the next macro action until the end user clicks the second button (Continue) or the third button (Close and Continue).
• If the checkbox is cleared, then the macro runtime:
  1. Displays the Query Results dialog with two buttons:
     • Save Results
     • Close
  2. Immediately goes on to process the next macro action.

In either case, the Query Results dialog remains open until the end user closes it (by clicking either Close or else Close and Continue).

Buttons on the Query Results dialog shows for each of the buttons its name, its function, and the setting of the Hold on output dialog checkbox that causes it to appear:
