Managing Model Objects › Impact Analysis › Using the Include Inactive Code Specification › Examples

Examples

The two examples in this section depict the new impact analysis for objects containing deactivated (commented out) code. Consider the following scenario:

• Function_A calls Function_B.
  Function_A also calls Function_C.
  Function_B calls Function_C.
• Function_B's call to Function_C is deactivated (commented out)
• Function C is analyzed for usages.

Example 1—Include Inactive Code = *YES

*Scope  . .  *NOMAX  Reason . .  *ALL*  
Opt Object                  Typ Atr Owner                   Lvl Reason  WRN
    Function_C              FUN RPG 17009615                000 *OBJECT
    Function_B              FUN RPG 17009615                001 *ACTION  *
    Function_A              FUN RPG 17009615                002 *ACTION  *
    Function_A              FUN RPG 17009615                001 *ACTION

Note: Function_B's record has a '*' in character 2 of the WRN field, to indicate that the action diagram call to Function_C has been deactivated (commented out). Hence the Function_A (LVL 002) which calls Function_B) is also marked with a '*' in the WRN field. However the Function_A (LVL 001) which calls Function_C directly) is not marked with a '*' in the WRN field.

Example 2—Include Inactive Code = *NO

*Scope  . .  *NOMAX  Reason . .  *ALL* 
Opt Object                  Typ Atr Owner                   Lvl Reason  Wrn 
    Function_C              FUN RPG 17009615                000 *OBJECT
    Function_A              FUN RPG 17009615                001 *ACTION

Note: Because Function_B's call to Function_C is deactivated (commented out)* Function_B is not included in the usages report and not expanded, therefore Function_A (LVL 002) is also not included.

Example 3–Include Inactive Code = *IGN

*Scope . . *NOMAX Reason . . *ALL*
Opt Object Typ Atr Owner Lvl Reason WRN
Function_C FUN RPG 17009615 000 *OBJECT
Function_B FUN RPG 17009615 001 *ACTION
Function_A FUN RPG 17009615 002 *ACTION
Function_A FUN RPG 17009615 001 *ACTION

Note: These are the same results that you would see with 8.1 SP2. They also look the same as with Include Inactive Code=*YES but the WRN field is not used, since there is no differentiation between active and deactivated code.
