-GE Lines in a Server

You use these lines to manage the error messages of Business Components and initialization/termination servers. You can specify error messages for errors that are described in specific code. You can also customize the standard messages that are related to the standard access to Segments or to the validation of the Logical View data. This customization is also possible on the -GE Lines of Segments or Data Elements.

Error
This column displays a dot on all the existing description lines that are not empty.

Moreover, if this line is not correct, this column also displays an error or warning symbol, depending on the severity of the error. A hover help indicates the source of the error.

Type
Click Add. By default, the type of the new line is set to * (comment). Click the Type column and select U for an error message that is associated with an error described in specific code, or S for a customized error message related to the Segment access.
Description
To specify error messages for errors that are described in specific code, enter the following elements on a U line:
  • The error code in 4 characters (columns 1 - 4) as it is used in the specific code.
  • The severity of the error on 1 character (column 5). E is for an error or W is for a warning.
  • The message that is associated with this error (from column 6).
Note: If you define an error in a Business Component for the Logical View data, you must associate a message with this error. You do it on the -GE Lines of the Logical View -CE Lines.
To customize an error message that is related to the database Segment access (if it has not been customized on the Segment -GE Lines), you must declare the Segment on an S line and enter the error message on a U line.
  • The S line must contain the following elements:
    • The Segment (columns 1 - 4)
    • A blank or W to associate a warning with the error message (column 5)
    • The category code (column 6), required if the same Segment code is used in several categories: blank for Screen top, R for repetitive, or Z for Screen bottom
    • The Segment position (1, 2, and so on) (column 7) in the category (required if the same Segment code is used several times in a category)
  • The U line must contain the following elements:
    • The message to be customized, according to the use of the Segment (columns 1 - 4):
      • For a use in reception, enter NFND for an invalid modification or deletion, or DUPL for an invalid creation.
      • For a use in display, enter END for an end of list, or ABSC for a missing record.
    • A blank or W to associate a warning with the error message (column 5)
    • The message that is associated with this error (from column 6)
Link
This field is used for an S line. You use it to select a Segment that will then be displayed in the Description field.

Click the selection icon to display the available Segments. Select one of them and click OK. This instance is then displayed in the Link column.

You can also specify an instance directly from the Link column. To make the input easier, you can open a content assist wizard by clicking Ctrl and the space bar simultaneously. If you have started to enter a name, the content assist displays the instances that start with this input. If you enter the name of an instance that does not exist and if you validate, the input is discarded.
