Invoking Documentation Commands from the Documentation Menu

CA 2E includes commands that print the documentation for a data model. The Display Services Menu contains an option, Documentation Menu, that lets you invoke documentation commands from a menu. These commands include:

• YDOCMDLREL—Document model relations
• YDOCMDLF—Document model files
• YDOCMDLACP—Document model access paths
• YDOCMDLFLD—Document model fields
• YDOCMDLMSG—Document model messages
• YDOCMDLAPP—Document applications

To execute a documentation command:

1. From the Display Services Menu, select the option to display the documentation menu and press Enter. The Display Documentation Menu panel displays.
2. Enter the number for the command you want to invoke. A panel displays that includes:
   • Selection criteria allowing you to identify the CA 2E objects you want to document.
   • Print options allowing you to identify the information you want to include for the selected objects.
   • The PRTTEXT parameter lets you specify whether you want to include narrative text in the listing and, if so, whether you want to include the functional or the operational text .
3. Edit the prompts as necessary.
4. When you are ready to execute the command, press Enter. The system is inhibited while the command executes.

   Note: These commands can all be run in batch mode.

When the command is finished, the Display Documentation Menu redisplays with a completion message.
