Synthesize Subject List Flows

Subject list flow synthesis allows you to add a flow between a synthesized selection list Procedure Step and the current Procedure Step. The selection list Procedure Step has the same subject entity as the entity maintenance procedure. You also select the command that executes the flow.

The selection list to which you connect the flow is intended to be used as a menu of the subject entity type occurrences for the Procedure Step being detailed. For example, you can synthesize a flow between a selection list Procedure Step that lists employees and an entity maintenance Procedure Step that performs entity actions on employee personnel records. The intent is to select the subject entity from the selection list and perform entity maintenance actions on the subject entity. At the completion of entity maintenance, the user returns to the selection list.

Procedure Synthesis automatically creates a transfer and a link. A link flows from the selection list Procedure Step to the entity maintenance Procedure Step. A command of DISPLAY invokes the Execute First option. The entity maintenance Procedure Step returns from the link on a command of RETURN and passes no command with the Execute First option. The current subject view in the entity maintenance Procedure Step is matched back on the return so that the selection list Procedure Step starts from the current selection.

A transfer flows from the entity maintenance Procedure Step to the selection list Procedure Step. A command of DISPLAY invokes the Execute First option at the selection list. Since no data is matched, the selection list is displayed from the beginning.
