Result

Result

The result fetch defaults on this page are the default values for the command Result Fetch Options. See Specifying the Result Fetch Options.

By default, identical values are defined for the two result fetch options. Each pack that you fetch thus overwrites the previous pack. If the previous packs are to remain visible, specify a higher value for the maximum number of kept instances.

You can set the following options:

Number of instances per pack

The number of instances or fragments that are to be fetched with each pack.

Maximum number of kept instances

The maximum number of instances or fragments that can be shown in a group of instances at the same time.

Use wordwrap in tree view

Applies to the Result pane. When this check box is selected, lines are wrapped in tree view.

History

History

You can set the following options:

Maximum number of characters of each row used

Each query entry in the History pane shows the first n characters from each query line. These characters are concatenated to one string; each line break is indicated by three dots. Example:

declare namespace tf ... for $q in input()/Pr ... return ... $q/Address/Zip ... sort by (Zip)

When the query has 5 lines and you specify "20" in this text box, the first 20 characters of each query line are shown and each query entry thus shows a maximum of 100 characters. However, if 90 has been defined in the text box Maximum number of characters in each query history entry, each query entry in this example only shows 90 characters - 10 characters from the last query line are not used.

Maximum number of characters in each query history entry

The maximum number of characters that can be shown for a query entry in the History pane.

Maximum number of query history entries

The maximum number of query entries to be kept in the History pane.
