ENTDISPL Mode - Entity Display › Display Structures

Display Structures

Use the DISPLAY STRUCTURES option to display both CA Datacom/DB Model and CA FILE Model structures and substructures. CA Datacom Datadictionary returns the requested structure or substructure in an indented format. You can select a full or condensed display. The full display option includes FIELD occurrences for each TABLE or RECORD, KEY, and ELEMENT occurrence and the attribute-values available on the Structure Maintenance Panels and FILE Maintenance Panels. The condensed option omits the FIELD occurrences and many of the attribute-values.

When you select this option, CA Datacom Datadictionary presents the following menu where you select the type of structure display.
