The Overview tab of a Dialog displays
the label, in a read/write mode. It also displays
the instance name, type of COBOL
and map to generate, program external name,
and transaction code in a read-only mode and
provides access to the other tabs of the instance.
Description of the tab
Three sections
are not tabs themselves. They are displayed in the
Overview tab
only:
Alerts and Action Items,
General
information, and
Generation parameters definition (on
some entities).
All the other sections provide links to the corresponding
editor tabs.
If information is displayed in each section, you
can do either of the following tasks:
- Click it if it is displayed as a link. You automatically switch
to where the information has been specified.
- Or click the More button to switch to the
corresponding tab.
If no information is displayed in the section, click
the sym located in front of the section name. It gives you access
to the More button. Click it to access the
corresponding tab.
The sections of the tab
- Alerts and Action Items
- Any problem related to the current instance (for example, if the
instance calls another instance that has been deleted) is displayed
here as a link. If you click this link, you automatically switch to
the Problems view, where the line corresponding
to the error is highlighted. The error is clearly explained and you
can correct it.
General information displays
the following fields:
- Work context
- The work context is the project from which you have opened the
editor of the current instance. This project constitutes the starting
point for the resolution of the dynamic links and references between
the instances contained in the various projects of the location. The
projects hierarchy declared in the design build path is explored in
an upward direction.
If you click Hierarchy,
you can see a partial view of the design build path. In this view,
the project which constitutes the work context is the lowest project
of the hierarchy.
More information can be found in the following
topics: The work context and The design build path.
- Name
- The instance name is displayed in read-only mode. Ut is entered
when the instance is created, and it cannot be modified later.
- Label
- Enter the label, which identifies the new instance. It constitutes
a search criterion for a subsequent search.
- Generation parameters definition
- Generation parameters are specified in Libraries. These parameters
are related to the adaptation to the operating system in use.
So
the current instance is associated with the generation parameters
indicated in the Library displayed here. You can click Change to
select another Library.
The other sections of the tab display in a read-only mode
the information entered in the corresponding tabs and give access
to these tabs:
- The Definition displays the type
of COBOL and map to generate, program external
name, and transaction code entered
on the Definition tab of the Dialog. It also
shows the Generated skeleton language, selected
in the Definition tab of the Library where the
Dialog is defined.
- The Complement gives access to the Complement tab.
In this tab, you enter the physical characteristics of the error message
file and all the additional information needed for the generation
of an online program.
- The -CS Lines display how Segments are
accessed for the processing associated with the Dialog.
- The -CP Lines display the Macro calls in
the Dialog.
- The -G Lines gives access to the -G
Lines tab, where you enter the comments, generation options
and elements, and error messages of the Dialog.
- The Keywords display the Dialog keywords,
if any.
