Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.5

Data Structure Overview tab

The Overview tab displays the label in a read-write mode. It also displays information specific to the instance in a read-only mode and provides access to the other tabs of the instance.

Three sections are not tabs themselves and are displayed in the Overview tab only. These are the Alerts and Action Items section, the General Information section and the Generation Parameters Definition section.

All the other sections provide links to the corresponding editor tabs.

If information is displayed in each section, you can:
  • click on it if it is displayed as a link. You will 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, just click on the arrows located in front of the section name. This gives you access to the More... button. Click on it to access the corresponding tab.

Alerts and Action Items
Any problem related to the current instance (ex: if the instance calls another instance which has been deleted...) is displayed in this section as a link. If you click on this link, you automatically switch to the Problems view, where the line corresponding to the error is highlighted. The error will be clearly explained there to enable you to correct it.
General Information: This section displays the following two fields:
Name
The instance name is displayed in read-only mode. It is chosen when the instance is created and cannot be modified subsequently.
Label
Enter the label, which identifies the new instance. It will then constitute a search criterion for a subsequent search.

Definition

In the Definition tab, you can enter a comment that will be used to generate the error labels. You can enter up to 44 characters in this field.
The Keywords section displays the keywords, if any, already assigned to the instance.

The Documentation section does not directly display the assigned documentation. You must access the Documentation tab to see it.

Other sections display information, if any, defined in the corresponding tabs of the Data Structure editor:

The -LS section displays the list of Segments defined for the Data Structure in the Segment tab of the editor.

The -G Lines section displays comments and error messages specified for the Data Structure.
