Working data

This category identifies the Data Structures and Data Elements called in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION of the generated instance.

If you right-click the Working data category, you can add Data Structures in working. This choice opens a selection box in which you select a Data Structure, provided it is not already used in the generated instance. You must specify its Code in program.

Code in program
This code is two characters long. The first character must be alphanumeric and the second character must be either numeric or alphabetic.

It sets the sequence in which the Data Structure or Report is processed in the program.

When the Data Structure or Report is used only once in a program, it is advised to indicate the code entered as the Data Structure or Report name. This name is entered upon creation. However, if it is called more than once in a program, you can differentiate these calls.

You can parameterize this code in a Macro with $n.

You can also add Data Elements in working. This choice opens a selection box in which you select a Data Element.
