Model Action Block Use Report

The Model Action Block Use Report lists the calling hierarchy of components in a model. The report displays the Dynamic Link attribute that is associated with each module.

The Dynamic Link attributes associated with each module are:

• Default
• Yes
• No
• Compatibility

For each Business System in the report, it lists the default values assigned to the Dynamic Link Defaults for Procedure Steps, Screens Managers, and Action Blocks. The report has these three modes of operation, which is selected by the Object Range report option:

• All business systems and load modules

  This option lists every Business System in the model, every Load Module under its Business System, every Procedure Step in each Load Module, and recursively, every Action Block the Procedure Step uses. The end of the report includes a list of Derivation Algorithms in the model.

• Selected objects

  Use this option to select Business Systems or Load Modules to include in the report. The report lists the selected objects and components those objects use. When you select a Business System, it lists all the load modules under the Business System. To select a specific load module, select Batch Job, Batch Job Step, Online Load Module, Operations Library, Server Manager, Window Load Module, Window Manager, or z/OS Library. This report omits Derivation Algorithms.

• Filter modules by Dynamically Link (z/OS) option

  This option enables the Filter Value field and the report lists Procedure Steps, Screens, Action Blocks, and Derivation Algorithms that have their Dynamic Link (z/OS) property set to the value selected in the Filter Values field.

  The permitted values that can appear in the Dynamic Link (z/OS) options for these components are:

  • Default
  • Yes
  • No
  • Compatibility

Each module in the report includes:

• Hierarchy nesting level
• Action Block name
• Action Block type:
  • Pstep - Procedure Step
  • Common - Common Action Block
  • Derivation - Derivation Algorithm
  • External - External Action Block
  • Foreign - Common Action Block that is owned by a Business System other than the Load Module's Business System
  • Foreign Ext - External Action Block that is owned by a Business System other than the Load Module's Business System
  • Pstep - For Used Procedure Step owned by a Business System other than the Load Module's Business System
• Action Block source member name
• Dynamic link value for Procedure Step/Action Block

  The Dynamic link values for Procedure Step/Action block are:

  • Default
  • Yes
  • No
  • Compatibility

  For Default, the report also lists the default value for Screen Manager set in the Business System dynamic link default for Procedure Step/Action Block. For example, Default (No) means that the module is set to Default and the owning Business System dynamic link default for Procedure Step/ Action Block is set to No.

• Screen member name for the screen, when it exists
• Dynamic link value for screen, when it exists

  The Dynamic link values for the screen are:

  • Default
  • Yes
  • No
  • Compatibility

  For Default, it also lists the default value for Screen Manager set in the Business System dynamic link default.

• Owning Business System name

When an action block is called more than once in the same level 1 hierarchy and it has calls to other action blocks, the action block use expansion is only reported once. The action block name has an asterisk (*) beside it to denote it was previously expanded.

The CSE writes the report to the specified Directory and File Name. When the file already exists, it displays a warning and the option to overwrite the file or return to choose a different file name.

The CSE also displays the report on your workstation.

Here is a sample report:

                                                                                                  
                                                Model Action Block Use Report
