Overview tab
This tab contains two links in the Generation parameters definition section. The Set of parameters link points to the Library that contains the generation parameters. The Derived from <Entity> link points to the reference instance from which the instance derives.
The General information section
displays the following fields:
- Work context
- The work context is the project from which you open the editor of the current instance. This
project constitutes the starting point for the resolution of the dynamic links and references
between the instances of the various projects. The projects hierarchy that is 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 that constitutes the work context is the lowest project of the hierarchy.
For more information, see The work context and The design build path.
- Name
- The instance name is displayed in read-only mode. It is entered when the instance is created, and it cannot be modified later.
- Label
- Enter the label that identifies the instance. It will constitute a search criterion upon a subsequent search.
- Generation parameters definition
- It contains the following links:
- Set of parameters points to the Library from which the derived instance will be generated. This Library differs from the Library that is indicated in the reference instance. Its generation parameters produce a COBOL source that is different from the source generated from the reference instance Library.
- Derived from <Entity> points to the reference instance that contains the design of the instance.
- Definition
- This section displays information that varies according to the entity. This information is used for the generation of the derived instance.
The Keywords section displays the keywords of the instance.
