How to duplicate conditions

Is there any way to duplicate the conditions that has been written for a query so that it can be used for the other queries as well.
Suppose I ve 3 queries. All 3 have the same conditions. So instead of coding them in each query(in the query panel) , can there be a easy method.(Is there any macro which serves the purpose)

Which version of Business Objects are you on? In 6.5 you can use an existing data provider to build a new query.

If you are on version 5 I am sure that there is a utility somwwhere on this site that allows you to copy a data provider. You could try and do a search or look at this

The version is 6.1b
We can create an additional data provider once the first one is in place.But when i m creating the first one ,how can i duplicate?

I belive the utility still works with version 6. Someone may correct me if Iā€™m wrong.

Madhu you could have a look at the linked discussion to see if anyone discusses Version 6
