This view displays a hierarchical tree that shows the generated nodes of the Program, Screen, or Server. You can easily spot where specific code was entered. Moreover, if you modified the design of a Program, Screen, or Server that contains specific code, you must consult this view after each new generation. This view shows whether the reconciliation (which integrates the new design while keeping the specific code) detected any potential problems.
For Pacbase, the nodes correspond to functions, subfunctions, sections, and divisions.
By default, the tree displays the titles of the generated and specific functions and subfunctions. These titles are extracted from the comment that precedes the function or subfunction. Only the relevant characters are recognized. Characters such as *, +, or =, and the NOTE character string are not included in the titles. If you do not want to display the titles of the functions and subfunctions, clear the option Display the long labels of the nodes from .
From a Macro node, you can open the Macro in the Macro editor in the context of its call in the Program, Screen, or Server. To do so, right-click a Macro node and select Open the Macro with the Macro editor. Selecting this choice is identical to double-clicking a Macro in the -CP Lines tab of a Program, Screen, or Server.
From this view, you can filter the text in the PDP COBOL editor and display or hide parts of the COBOL source.
