Selection List Stereotype

A selection list stereotype allows you to generate a Procedure Action Diagram that presents a selection list. A selection list shows the occurrences of a subject entity type. Each display line in the list displays one or more of the attributes. The occurrences are sorted by a selected attribute. During Procedure Synthesis, CA Gen creates a Procedure Action Diagram that describes the logic to display all occurrences of the subject entity type. CA Gen also creates a field to permit the user to enter a selection.

The following is an example of a selection list.

LIST OF EMPLOYEES
EMPLOYEE NUMBER: 0000000
NAME NUMBER
M. ADAMS 0198395
J. BROWN 1388404
W. COLLINS 9873913
R. JOHNSTON 5467938
T. NASH 9085940
E. ROBERTSON 9851098
C. SANDERS 2992847
D. SMITH 0999800
B. WALTERS 5986070

CA Gen automatically adds the CASE command to display a selection list.

Selection list stereotypes use the generated Dialog Manager for scrolling.
