A placeholder used in LSE templates as an expansion of the column-name placeholder. The templates use the term column- qualifier to describe leftmost loop in the following syntax diagram for the column-name syntax. column-name = ---+----------->-----------------+-> <name-of-column> --> +-> <table-name> -------+> . -+ +-> <view-name> --------+ +-> <correlation-name> -+ If you expand column-qualifier in the templates, you will see the optional items of table-name, view-name, and alias.
