Explicit Method

The explicit method requires using the Include? attribute in the FIELD ATTRIBUTES region to specify the fields which are components of the element.

If you use the explicit method to define fields to an element, CA Datacom Datadictionary assigns the name of the beginning FIELD occurrence of the group that you specify as the value for the First Field attribute. It assigns the name of the ending FIELD occurrence in the group you specify as the value for the Last Field attribute.

If you add any FIELD occurrences to the record or table after the element is defined, they are included as components of the element provided they are inserted on the FILE Maintenance Panel between the fields identified as the First Field and Last Field in the element. If you add them before the existing first field or after the existing last field, you must include them as components of the element by using this method.

Include?

The default value of N (no) is originally displayed on the Element FILE Maintenance Panel, indicating that no fields have been defined to the element. Change the value from N to Y (yes) for each field you want to include in the element.

Valid Entries:

Y or N

Default Value:

N

Compiler-Name

(Optional) If your site uses compiler names that are different from the occurrence names, specify the compiler name for the field within this element.

Valid Entries:

1- to 30-character compiler name

Default Value:

(No default)

ASM-Name

(Optional) If your site uses Assembler names that are different from the occurrence name, specify a name for the field within this element.

Valid Entries:

1- to 8-character ASSEMBLER name

Default Value:

(No default)
