F4 Prompt Function Assignment

CA 2E allows you to change the access path assigned to the file-to-file relation and to assign a new prompt function over the access path. This can be done at the access path or function level. Function level overrides take precedence over access path level overrides.

For more information about F4 prompt function assignment at the function level, see the SELRCD section of the "Defining Functions" chapter in Building Applications.

To prompt for a new function assignment:

1. Use the instructions on the previous page to get to the Edit Access Path Relations panel.
2. Type S next to the selected file-to-file relation you want to assign to the access path and press Enter.

   The Edit Function panel displays.

3. Type X next to the selected function and press Enter.

   You can select any external function other than Print File (PRTFIL) and the function can be based over any access path that is valid for the function type you select.

To cancel the function assignment and return to the default function:

1. Type T next to the selected relation.
2. Press Enter.
