Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

Overview tab

This tab contains one or two links, depending on the derivation type selected upon the instance creation, in the Generation Parameters Definition section. The <Entity> to derive link, always displayed whatever the derivation type, points to the reference instance from which the instance derives. The Set of parameters link, displayed only with a Library substitution derivation type, points to the generation library.

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
This sections contains one or both of the following links:
  • <Entity> to derive points to the reference instance, which contains the instance's design. The <Entity> to derive can be a Program, a Screen, a Data Structure or a Dialog.
  • Set of parameters is displayed only if the derived instance was created with the Library substitution derivation type. It points to the library from which the reference instance will be generated. This library, different from that indicated in the reference instance, contains generation parameters which will output a Cobol source different from the source generated from the library of the reference instance.
