CA 2E Subfile Select Options

The following table lists the options supplied by CA 2E.

Note: Some of these options operate on the actual model objects and others operate on entries of a named model object list. Be sure to note this distinction when reading the following descriptions and when using the subfile select options.

Option	Action	Meaning	Where Documented
1	Select	Tag the entry in the current list for selective processing by list commands in conjunction with flag value selection (FLAGVAL). Sets the list entry's Object Select flag.	CA 2E Command Reference Guide
2	Edit	Edit the selected model object. The CA 2E panel displayed depends on the type of the model object selected.Edit the selected model object. The panel displayed depends on the type of the model object selected.	This section, Editing Model Objects
3	Copy	Create a copy of the selected model object. This applies only to model objects of type FUN and MSG.	This section, Copying Model Objects
4	Delete list entry	Delete the model list entry from the current model object list. A confirmation panel is displayed.	This section, Deleting a Model Object or a Model List Entry
5	Display	Display model object.	This section, Viewing Model Objects
8	Details	Display the model object description for the selected model object and optionally change the model object's Copy name. The information displayed depends on the type of the model object.	This section, Viewing Model Objects and the YDSPMDLOD command section in the CA 2E Command Reference Guide
9	Deselect	Removes the list entry's Object Select flag (FLAGVAL). This is the opposite of Select.	CA 2E Command Reference Guide
10	Action Diagram	Invoke the Action Diagram Editor for the selected function. This applies only to model objects of type FUN.	Building Applications
11	Add to alternate list	Add the list entry to another model object list; the default is the list specified in your model profile. Invokes the YADDMDLLE command; you can specify another list on the command line.	This section, Adding Objects to a Model Object List, and CA 2E Command Reference Guide
13	Parameters	Edit parameters for the selected model object. Displays the Edit Function Parameters panel. Applies only to functions, messages, conditions, or arrays.	Building Applications
14	Generate source in batch	Generate the access path or external function in batch mode. Invokes the YCRTJOBLE command to add the object to the job list. You can specify parameters on the command line; example, JOBLST. Note: Limitations exists around the DDL implementation. Refer to the DDL Limitations section at the end of this table.	CA 2E Command Reference Guide
15	Generate source interactively	Generate the source for an access path or external function interactively. Invokes the YCRTJOBLE command to add the object to the job list. You can specify parameters on the command line; example, JOBLST. Note: Limitations exists around the DDL implementation. Refer to the DDL Limitations section at the end of this table.	CA 2E Command Reference Guide
16	Y2CALL	Call the selected function's implementation object using the Y2CALL command. Y2CALL determines the parameters required by an external function directly from details contained in the model. You can provide values for all input-capable fields and you can reuse these values for subsequent calls.	This chapter, Working with Versions of Functions and Messages section and CA 2E Command Reference Guide
17	Device design	Invoke the device design editor for the selected model object. Applies only to model objects of type FUN.	Building Applications
18	Device structure	Invoke the structure design editor for the selected print function. Applies only to model objects of type FUN and attribute PRTFIL or PRTOBJ.	Building Applications
19	Work with versions	Work with versions within the model for the selected model object. Applies only to model objects of type FUN and MSG.	This chapter, Working with Versions of Functions section and the Messages section and CM User Guide
20	Access path	Display the Display File Access Paths panel for the selected model object. Applies only to model objects of type FUN.	Building Applications and Building Access Paths
21	Narrative for object	Display the Edit Narrative Text panel for the selected model object.	Administrator Guide
22	Narrative for owning object	Display the Edit Narrative Text panel for the model object that owns the selected model object.	Administrator Guide
23	Start SEU	Start SEU for the selected model object. Available for model objects of type ACP and FUN only.	—
24	Delete model object	Delete the model object from the model. This applies only to the following object types: ACP, ARR, APP, CND, FUN, MSG; you cannot delete a FIL or FLD in this way.	This section, Deleting a Model Object or a Model List Entry
25	Document function	Invokes the YDOCMDLFUN command for the selected model object. Applies only to model objects of type FUN.	Building Applications and the CA 2E Command Reference Guide
26	Redirect	Make the selected version active (current) in the model. Applies only to model objects of type FUN and MSG.	This chapter, Working with Versions of Functions and Messages section and the CM User Guide
28	Check out	Check out the model object for change. Available only with CM.	CM User Guide
30	Open function	Open all functions selected with option 30 and then Display the Open Functions panel. Applies only to model objects of type FUN.	Building Applications
31	Locks for object	Display locks currently set for the selected model object.	Administrator Guide
32	Locks for object owner	Display locks currently set for the owner of the selected model object.	Administrator Guide
33	Refresh entry	Refresh the model object list entry from its model object description in the All Objects list (*ALLOBJ).	This section, Viewing Model Objects
34	Compare objects	Invoke the Compare Model Objects (YCMPMDLOBJ) command. Applies only to model objects of type FUN and MSG.	CA 2E Command Reference Guide
38	Check action diagram	Scans for error in the selected function, and if errors are found, loads the action diagram at the first error.	Building Applications
81	References for object	Display all references within the model for the model object.	This chapter, Model Object Cross References section
82	References for owning object	Display all references within the model for the owner of the model object.	This chapter, Model Object Cross References section
91	Usages for object	Display all usages within the model for the model object.	This chapter, Model Object Cross References section
92	Usages for owning object	Display all usages within the model for the owner of the model object.	This chapter, Model Object Cross References section
/	Merge object with command	Process the selected object with the command on the command line. Serves as a temporary user-defined option.	This section, Command Line

Limitations When Compiling *DDL-based Access Paths:

When you take option 14 / 15 from the Edit Model Object List panel against a *DDL-based access path and the access path has either of the four DDL limitations, the generation is prevented. The access path source is not generated and no entry is added to the jobs list.
The current implementation of the DDL generation mode is not valid for the following cases:
- Access paths that have virtual fields
- SPN access path
- QRY access path
- Multi-member files
Workaround for Virtual Fields, SPN, and QRY Access Paths: If the earlier generation mode is *DDS, revert to it and regenerate the access path. You need not regenerate the functions that use this access path. If you want to have an SQL type database, regenerate the access path using *SQL generation mode. The functions using this access path must be regenerated.

Workaround for Multi-Member Files: If you want to have more than one member for the access paths, revert to *DDS generation mode.

Note: If you want to change an access path, which is previously defined as *DDS with a MAXMBR compiler override, to *DDL, you must revert to *DDS generation mode and must remove the compiler override, and then change back to *DDL generation mode.
