This wizard contains the information specified in the Data Structure call section of the -W Lines tab.
It sets the sequence in which the Data Structure or Report will be processed in the program.
When the Data Structure or Report is used only once in a program, it is recommended to indicate the same code as the one entered as the Data Structure/Report name (chosen upon creation). However if it is called more than once in a program, you may differentiate these calls.
You can parameterize this code in a Macro with $n.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
For a batch program | |
AA to ZZ and 0A to 0Z | These values cause the lines entered in this
tab to be generated at the beginning of the WORKING STORAGE Section.
Relatively to the Data Structures called in the -CD
Lines tab, these lines will be generated as follows:
|
00 to 09, 1A to 19... 9A to 99 | The lines entered in this tab will be generated in the WORKING STORAGE Section, after all the Data Structures whose COBOL position is lower than this prefix |
For a transactional program | |
AA to 0Z | The description is generated in the WORKING STORAGE Section. |
00 to 99 | The description is generated in the LINKAGE Section. |
AA and 00 | These values are used by the system for automatically-generated data. |
99 | With a Line number = 999, this value is used by the system for the PROCEDURE DIVISION statement. Therefore, you may use it to create a line with a sequencing number 99999, which will replace the PROCEDURE DIVISION line which is automatically generated. |
$n | This represents a parameterized value in a Macro-Structure |
Value | Comment |
---|---|
E : Input | Default value for Data Structures with a usage set t:, M: Transaction to be validatedN: Transaction notto be validated, E: Transaction with error checking |
I: Internal | Default value for Data Structures whose usage is NOT set to: M: Transaction to be validatedN: Transaction notto be validated, E: Transaction with error checking |
S: Output |
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
Redefined records | No VALUE clause is generated |
1: Records without initial values | Records without initial values or occurs. These
records are presented with the Segment common part followed by the
different specific parts. If the Data Structure description appears in the COBOL FILE SECTION, the COBOL record level field must be set to 2: COBOL 01 level for DS area and segments at 02 level. With this value, the specific Segments are described without redefines, at the COBOL level 02. Several Segment descriptions are grouped together under the same I/O area. |
2: Records with initial values | Records with the specific initial values indicated in the Segment -CE Lines tab. These values may also default to blank or zero depending on the format. Initial values are also generated for the occursed fields if the Generated language of the Library is set to D: COBOL II, 85, LE. |
3: Records with occurs (used with level 2) | Records which incorporate the occurs number
indicated in the 'Table size' field of the Segment Definition tab. No VALUE clause will be generated. If the Data Structure description appears in the COBOL FILE SECTION, the COBOL record level field must be set to 2: COBOL 01 level for DS area and segments at 02 level. This type of description cannot be used if the common part Segment of this Data Structure is assigned a value in the Table size field of the Segment Definition tab. (In that case, set the Organization to W: File description in Working and the Usage to T: Table stored in memory ). |
4: Records with occurs (used with level 3) | Records which incorporate the occurs number
indicated in the 'Table size' field of the Segment Definition tab.
The associated 'Level' field must be set to 3.
The associated COBOL record level must be set to 3: COBOL level varying with records description type Comment specific to the On LIne System Development function: The index is not generated if the Generated description type set to 4: Records with occurs (used with level 3)' and the COBOL record level is set to 3: COBOL level varying with records description type, A COBOL level 02 is used to access the table made up of occurs of the same record (ddssT). A COBOL level 01 is used to group the whole D.S. together - common or specific parts, whether occurred or not. A group level field that incorporates all instances is generated. This type of description cannot be used if the common part Segment of this Data Structure is assigned a value in the Table size field of the Segment Definition tab. (In that case, set the Organization to W: File description in Working and the Usage to T: Table stored in memory ). |
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
1: COBOL 01 level for DS area and segments | If the Data Structure description appears in
the COBOL FILE SECTION, the Segments must be redefined. If a Data Structure has no common part with a non- redefined description, the D.S. Area will only appear when the Generated description type is set to Redefined records. |
2: COBOL 01 level for DS area and segments at 02 level | If the Generated description type is set to Redefined records', the D.S. Area and Segments will be described at level 02 (Preferably set the Organization to L: Working with placement and define the higher levels through Work Areas). |
3: COBOL level varying with records description type | Level 02 for D.S. Area & level 03 for Segments
if the Generated description type is set to 1:
Records without initial values, 2: Records
with initial values or 3: Records with occurs
(used with level 2). Level 01 for D.S. Area & level 03 for Segments if the Generated description type is set to 4: Records with occurs (used with level 3). Level 03 for both D.S. and Segments if the Generated description type is set to Redefined records. |
4: COBOL 02 level for Data Elements, DS Areas and Segment levels disappear | Reserved for D.S. with an Organization set
to L: Working with placement and a Usage set
to D: Output file. Level 02 for group Data Elements or elementary Elements that are not part of a group. Elementary Elements that are part of a group appear but the D.S. Area and Segment levels disappear. Level 01 is to be defined in the -W Lines tab. |
5: COBOL 01 level for Data Elements, DS Areas and Segment levels disappear | Organization set to L:
Working with placementor W: File description
in Working and a Usage set to D:
Output file. Level 01 for group Data Elements or elementary Elements that are not part of a group. Elementary elements that are part of a group appear but the D.S. Area and Segment levels disappear. |
You can choose whether the Data Structure must be generated in the Working Storage Section, or as the description of a Pactables Table.
You can also use this field to specify Database descriptions when the Database Description function is not used. These values are taken into account by application Programs.
Value | Comment |
---|---|
S: Sequential | This is the only authorized value for a Report, a Sequential file or a Sort file Data Structure. |
V: VSAM, UFAS | This is one of the two possible values for an
Indexed file Data Structure This value generates the STATUS KEY IS clause and the corresponding field is declared in the File Status field of the -CD Line Definition section of the '-CD Lines' tab (the part which can be viewed by clicking the More... button). |
I: Indexed | This is the other possible value for an Indexed
file Data Structure. This value corresponds to an indexed sequential organization (ISP for GCOS8 BCD). An ISP file coded 'LE'
will be generated in three work areas:
|
G: Table description | This value generates the communication area with the Pactables access function. |
L: Working with placement | File descriptions are generated in the WORKING STORAGE SECTION, in the location you indicate in the COBOL position field. |
W: File description in Working | File descriptions are generated in the WORKING STORAGE SECTION, before the WSS-BEGIN' constant. |
Y: Pacbench C/S | Call of the COPY clause which corresponds to the communication area between the client and the server (Pacbench C/S Business Components only). |
X: Comment | Data Structure used as a comment, not used for generation. |
2: DB2 segments or VAX/SQL | Generation-Description of a DB2 or VAX/SQL Segment. Only physical accesses are not generated. The structure of the variable indicators corresponding to the columns of the DB2 or VAX/SQL table is always generated. |
Q: DB2 or ALLBASE/SQL | Reserved for the description of SQL/DS, DB2/2 or DB2/6000 Databases (IBM), or ALLBASE/SQL Databases (HP3000), or DB2/2 or DB2/600 Databases (MICROFOCUS). |
D: DL/1, IDS I and II | Reserved for the description of Segments or records of the IMS (DL/1), IDS I or IDS II databases, in the generation of DBD, SYSGEN, schemas or application programs |
B: IDMS | |
A: ADABAS | |
T: 'TOTAL' files | |
O: ORACLE (< V6) | |
C: INTEREL RDBC or RFM | |
R: RDMS | |
4: DB2/400 | |
M: DATACOM DB | |
N: NONSTOP SQL | |
P: ORACLE V6 and V7 | |
9: INFORMIX, SYBASE, INGRES/SQL, or SQL SERVER | |
Z: Data Structure for Socrate/Clio | |
F: Formal for Socrate/Clio |
This field is used with the Pactables function, to indicate which sub-schema is to be described. It is numeric, from 0 to 9 (0 corresponds to sub-schema 10).
