Change Procedures

You can change procedures in the following ways:

• Access view maintenance from a single-step procedure. For more information about view maintenance, see the Toolset Help and the Action Diagram User Guide.
• Change a procedure description in the same way that you enter a procedure description.
• Change the implementation type (batch or online) for a single-step online, multistep online, or multistep batch procedure when no dialog flows are connected to other procedures and the dialog flows within the procedure are downward transfers only. The implementation change also applies to the procedure steps.

  Note: Batch is only available on MVS.

  Delete an action block name from the list of action blocks implemented for a procedure. CA Gen removes the USE statement for the action block from the CASE OF COMMAND construct in the Action Diagram.

• Delete a procedure. When you do so, CA Gen deletes all of its associated procedure steps, screens, windows, and flows.
• Move a procedure. When you move a multistep procedure, its steps move with it. CA Gen does not allow you to move procedure steps out of their parent procedure. When you move a procedure, the dialog flows into and out of the procedure are redrawn to accommodate the new position of the procedure.
