The Overview tab of a Screen displays
the label, in a read-write mode. It also displays
the instance name, type of Cobol
and Map to generate, Program external name, Map
external name and transaction code in
a read-only mode and provides access to the other tabs of the instance.
Description of the tab
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.
The sections of the 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.
- Generation Parameters Definition
- Generation parameters are specified in libraries. These parameters
are related to the adaptation to the operating system in use.
So
the current instance is associated with the generation parameters
indicated in the library displayed here. You can click the Change... button to select another library.
The other sections of the tab display the information,
if any, entered in the corresponding tabs:
- The Definition section displays, in a read-only
mode, the type of Cobol and Map to generate,
the Program external name, Map external
name and transaction code entered
on the Definition tab. This section also gives
access to the other information specified in the Definition tab.

which constitute the Screen.
