The Level, Address, and Length tab gives information about the Data Elements that are called in the Segment or a Table, such as their COBOL descriptions. It also displays statistics on the Segment.
This tab is the equivalent of -LAL and -STA in Pacbase. It consists of two tables whose values are related to the information that is entered in the -CE Lines tab of the Segment or Table editor.
The fields of the Statistics section are automatically completed. If you add or remove an element in the -CE Lines tab, statistics are updated simultaneously.
If you add a Data Element call to the Segment, or remove one of them, the Number of Data Elements field is updated. It is the same for a Segment: the Number of Segment calls field is updated. When you add a filler, group, elementary Data Element call, the Number of elementary fields is modified. You can cancel this action with the Undo choice of the contextual menu. As a result, the fields in the Statistics section are reset to their initial values and the call line is removed from or reinserted in the -CE lines of the Segment. A Redo action is still possible.
If you updated the -CE lines of the Segment, and have not saved these changes yet, you can still revert to the last saved updates. To do so, select Revert in the statistics contextual menu.
You can refresh the display by clicking Refresh.
The Level, Address, and Length table displays information that comes from the Definition of Data Elements, such as the usage, internal format, and output format.
The length, address, and COBOL level of the Data Element in the Segment are also indicated. If a Data Element is redefined, the length of the redefined Data Element is calculated.
If the called element is not a Data Element, the numbers that are displayed in the Internal format and Input format columns are always identical. The Occurs values are the values that are entered in the Definition of the element called in the Segment -CE Lines tab.
