Query Request Information {MISAPP-7}


This option allows the user to query previous request numbers. There are three main uses for this option. 

  1. Firstly, to search for a particular previous request in terms of, for instance, the date on which it was generated or the user who generated it.
  2. Secondly, it is useful to query a certain program number (this corresponds to a "generate" menu option), and check which input parameters have already been used. The user can then check if the input parameters he/she intends to use to generate a new set of stored data has been used before, and so ensure that an important data set will not be overwritten. 
  3. Thirdly, this option can be used to check which request was generated before a certain date so that vital information is not deleted in {MISAPP-8}.
