Data Structure call

To display the contents of this section, you can select a Data Structure call at the second level of a -CD Line (Data Structure) in the table, or click Add Data Structure. You indicate whether all the Segments of the Data Structure are to be selected. From the definition section, you can also access the Data Structure editor tabs.

You can change the called Data Structure by clicking Change. You can also change it directly in the Dl column of the table. The change applies to the selected Segments if the corresponding selected Segments exist in the new Data Structure. If some corresponding Segments do not exist, they are not called in the -CD Lines.

Two methods are possible:
  • Place the cursor in the column and enter the name directly. To make the input easier, you can open a content assist wizard by clicking Ctrl and the space bar simultaneously. If you start entering 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.
  • Click the button that appears when you set your cursor in the column. In the selection wizard that opens, select an instance.
You specify which Data Structure Segments are to be called in the Program.
  • All Segments. The Data Structure call includes all its Segments. They are not shown on the call line in the tree.
  • Specified Segments. The tree then displays one line for each Segment of the Data Structure. You must remove the unwanted Segments. To do so, click a Segment in the tree and click Remove. Repeat this operation with other Segments as many times as necessary.
