You can assign descriptor words to occurrences to group these occurrences for several CA Datacom Datadictionary functions, such as CA Datacom Datadictionary display or batch reporting selection. Use descriptors to group occurrences of different entities that have some commonality. For example, you can assign the descriptor PAYROLL to all PROGRAM, JOB, STEP, and so forth, occurrences representing a payroll system.
A single descriptor can be assigned to any number of occurrences. Each occurrence can have a maximum of eight descriptors.
Note: If an occurrence exists in multiple status/versions and a descriptor is added to one status/version, the descriptor does not apply to other status/versions of the occurrence until you explicitly add the descriptor. The descriptor is copied to the new status/version of an occurrence when you copy the occurrence.
An occurrence must be in TEST or PROD status when you add or delete the descriptor. The descriptor can be 32 characters or less in length. The same rules for naming an occurrence apply to naming a descriptor. For more information, see the CA Datacom Datadictionary User Guide.
When you select the UPDATE DESCRIPTORS option, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the following Selection Criteria Fill-in panel:
