DFG:Type Maintenance

Type Maintenance

The Type Maintenance function can be used to add, change and delete Types. With this function, only the basic characteristics of a Type are maintained. However, from within this function the associated maintenance programs can be started.

Work with Types

The Work with Types display shows the Types for the currently selected Type Variant. You can change the Type Variant or you can add an entry to the list, remove an entry from the list, copy a Type code or change the Type definition and/or its details. You can also add a selection to the Type to determine the objects for which the types are valid.

Type Variant

This indicator controls the display for which type definitions are displayed. The possible values are:

0=Compile Type

Use this code to change the details of Compile Types.

1=Impact Analyzer Type

Use this code to change the details of Impact Analyzer Types.

2=Location Type

Use this code to change the details of Location Types.

Position to

Use this field to position the list.

Options and Function keys

Use this column to perform different operations on individual entries. The possible values are:

• 2=Change
  Change the basic definitions of a Type.
• 3=Copy

Maintain Type

The Maintain Type display enables you to change the basic definitions of a type. The type of information you can changed depends on the chosen Type Variant. The Display shows any of 5 modes:

• Add
  Used to add a new Type definition. The Type code and the description must be entered. In case of an Impact Analyzer code you also must add the Impact Analysis report code.
• Change
  You can change the description and, in case of an Impact Analyzer Type, the Impact Analysis report code.
• Copy
  All the fields will be copied from the current Type to a new entry definition.
• Delete
  The current Type header entry will be shown, including a confirmation message. Type details defined for this Type header also will be deleted.

Function Keys

• F8=Selections
  Jump to the selections of this type
• F10=Details
  Jump to the details of this Type (Compile Type only)

Note: For more information about a specific attribute move the cursor to the attribute area and press Help.

Type Name

The short name of the Type.

Description

A longer more meaningful description of the Type.

Report Code

In case of an Impact Analyzer Type you must select an IA report code.

Work with Type Selections

The Type Selection Maintenance screen enables you to add selections for this Type. You have to determine for which objects this type is valid. It is possible that an object is selected by Multiple selections. If this is the case then a Type Selection Rule will determine which Type is actually valid for the Object. Any object ever only has zero or one associated Type.

This screen displays a list of the currently existing selections. You can use the option field to maintain these selections, or you can press F6 to add a new selection.

You can use the selection fields at the top of the screen to select only those selections that meet the selection criteria. This can be helpful if there are many.

If a specific value is used in an action selection, then the value is preceded by a '+' sign or a '-' sign. A '+' indicates that if the run-time value is equal to the value in the selection, then the related selection is valid. A '-' indicates that the related selection is valid if the run-time value is not equal to the value in the selection.

To associate the Type with and object or detail, one or more of the selections must match the object.

Option

The possible values are:

• 2=Change
  change the environment code or the continue processing indicator of the connection rule detail.
• 3=Copy
  copy an existing connection rule detail.
• 4=Delete
  delete an existing connection rule detail.
• F6=Add
  Add connection rule details

Maintain Type Selection

The Maintain Type Selection display enables you to define a selection for the type code.

The display operates in any of these four modes:

• Add
  You can add a new entry.
• Change
  You can change an entry.
• Copy
  The entry is copied to a new entry.
• Delete
  Here you confirm the deletion of an entry.
• Display
  You an view the entry but not change it.
