-CE Lines tab

This tab is used to identify the elements that compose the current Segment or Table. You can call Data Elements, Segments, undefined Data Elements, Data Element groups on a Segment or a Table. You can also add fillers for a Segment only.

The -CE lines tab is constituted of an editable table, buttons that are associated with the table, and call definition sections that open when you insert or select a call line in the table. Some columns (Internal format on the call of defined Data Elements for example) are not editable because the values that they contain come from the editor of the called instance. Other columns can be entered directly in the table, in the call definition sections, or in a wizard.

Other columns that are specific to Data Element calls (CMS456, CONT, Values/Subfunction, and Update target) are editable from a wizard only. You open this wizard from the button that is included in the column or from the More button that is available in the Data Element call definition section.

The Comments column is displayed in the table only. It does not correspond to a field of the call line definition section. It contains an asterisk on the call lines that have been assigned -G lines. These secondary-level -G lines were entered with the -G Lines button in the call line definition section. If you hover your cursor on the asterisk, the -G lines of the call line are displayed in a tooltip. If you click the button that is associated with the asterisk, the -G lines are displayed in their tabular editor, where you can modify them. You can also display and modify the -G lines from the Edit comments choice in the contextual menu of the call line.
