<h3>Installation Instructions</h3>
15+
<p>After you download the iQuery.savf save file, it must be uploaded to your IBM i operating system server. You can do that using FTP binary transfer from Windows, Mac OS, or Linux based PCs</p>
16+
I normally upload it to the QGPL library. If the file suffix being uploaded is <b>.savf</b> FTP should create a valid SAVF object on the system. If it is something else, such as iquery.FILE then FTP will NOT create a valid save file on the server.
17+
You can work around this by first creating a save file on the IBM i server using the CRTSAVF CL command.</p>
18+
<pre>CRTSAVF QGPL/IQUERY</pre>
19+
<p>Once uploaded, use the RSTLICPGM CL command to install SQL iQuery. However, before you do that, it is recommended that you deleted any current installation of SQL iQuery.
20+
To check which version, if any, you currently have installed, use the LICPGM menu.</p>
21+
<pre>GO LICPGM </pre>
22+
<p>Next scroll down, usually to the bottom of the list, and see if 2COZ-IQ<i>n</i> is installed, where <i>n</i> is the iQuery version (normaly 6, 7 or 8). If it is installed, first remove that installation to prepare for the new version.</p>
23+
<pre>DLTLICPGM 2COZIQn</pre>
24+
<p>Again, where <i>n</i> is the installed version number.</p>
25+
<p>Once deleted or if it wasn't installed, proceed with the following installation command:</p>
26+
<pre>RSTLICPGM 2cozIQ8 *SAVF SAVF(QGPL/IQUERY)</pre>
27+
<p>Note: Use the save file name IQUERY72 if you are running on IBM i V7R2.</p>
28+
<p>Once complete, you are prompted for some install-time customizations. After that screen is completed, SQL iQuery is installed and ready to go.</p>
29+
<p>We include several SQL iQuery Scripts with SQL iQuery, to verify that everything is working, you can run the <i>demo</i> script by running the following CL command:</p>
30+
<pre>RUNiQRY *DEMO</pre>
