Function Structure Charts

This appendix contains examples of the CA 2E function structure charts. The structure charts provide you with a visual orientation of the user points with respect to other processes. They will help you learn the processing offered by each function type. Work your way through each chart as necessary. Evaluate each user point with respect to the rest of the function until you locate the correct point at which you want to introduce your processing logic.

Each structure chart is designed to be read from top to bottom and from left to right. The user points are shown in boxes outlined in bold. A box with a bold outline in its lower right corner indicates that the chart continues on the next page.

For more information on user points, see Understanding Action Diagram User Points in the chapter “Modifying Action Diagrams.”

The structure charts are shown on the following pages in alphabetical order by function type.
