Using DDS PUTOVR Keyword

There are slight differences in the generated source depending on whether the use of PUTOVR was specified or not on the design defaults display (YEDTDSNDFT command). The example shown previously includes PUTOVR processing.

If the use of PUTOVR is specified, the following differences occur on all formats, except those of subfile records:

• The PUTOVR keyword will be conditioned by the indicator specified in the central design defaults. Otherwise it is conditioned by the indicator associated with the Help function key on the design defaults.
• For input only fields, the DDS OVRATR keyword will additionally be generated. It will be conditioned by the indicator associated with the Help function key on the design defaults.
• For output only and both fields, the DDS OVRATR and OVRDTA keywords will additionally be generated. They will be conditioned by the indicator associated with the Help function key on the design defaults.
• The Time field will be treated differently: instead of the DDS Time keyword being generated, an output field will defined instead. The field will be named according to the value on the design defaults. This is done because the DDS OVRDTA keyword cannot be used in conjunction with the DDS Time keyword.
