The Toolkit command Create Panel Design DDS (YCRTPNLDDS) is provided to create the i OS Database Description Specifications (DDS) for a display format directly from a Toolkit panel design. The generate function is interactive, and allows you both to specify how a panel design is to be broken up into formats and to give names to the fields on panel designs. Formats may be defined as subfiles.
The source generated is standardized and includes useful combinations of the DDS keywords. You may optionally specify features such as message handling code, references to a field dictionary, and a print key file. Standards can be changed centrally using the Toolkit command Edit Design Defaults (YEDTDSNDFT).
A default field name is assigned to each field. You may specify override values for the field names, and also refer the fields back to reference fields in a data dictionary. Field references may either be to a field of the same name, or a different name, or to a name related by the CA 2E naming convention. The CA 2E naming convention provides a method of systematically assigning meaningful field names. See the CA 2E Standards Guide for further details.
