Define KEYs and ELEMENTs to the RECORD

The KEY/ELEMENT ATTRIBUTES region contains one line to define one key or element. Using line commands, you can add more lines to define additional keys and elements on this panel. For more information and for lists of valid entries and defaults for these attributes, see Add ELEMENT Substructures and :Add Key Substructures.

Press PF9 (APPLY) after completing your entries. If there are no errors, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays an indented structure containing the RECORD occurrence and the ELEMENT and KEY occurrences that you defined on the RECORD definition panel.

You can enter margin commands in the line numbers to place an occurrence and a function in the online work queue. Enter the DEF margin command in the line number for RECORD occurrence and the MOD margin command for the KEY and ELEMENT occurrences to define the FIELD occurrences for the RECORD, KEY, and ELEMENT structures. For more information, see Define FIELD Occurrences in a RECORD Structure.
