Procedure Step View Matching Report

The Procedure Step View Matching Report lists all dialog flows to and from the procedure step. The list is at the end of the PAD listing for a procedure step and uses the format in the following illustration.

  Procedure Step View Matching Report                                                           

    Dialog Flows Targeting DISPLAY_TDPV_ORDER                   

      TD_PERMITTED_VALUES_MENU links to DISPLAY_TDPV_ORDER      
        flows on: DISPLAY_DATA                                  
        setting command to CLEAR                                
        no views matched                                        

      DISPLAY_TDPV_ORDER returns to (DISPLAY FIRST) TD_PERMITTED
        returns on: RETURN                                      
          with autoflow on RETURN                               
        setting command to <SPACES>                             
        no views matched                                        

  End Of Procedure Step View Matching Report        

As can be seen from the illustration, the report has an opening and closing title and two headers that separate the report into two groups:

• Flows originating from the listed procedure
• Flows targeting the listed procedure

Each header includes entries for every transfer, link, or return in that direction. Each entry includes the following information:

• The source and destination procedure names and the type of flow.
• The exit state that causes the flow, if any. If no exit state is defined, CA Gen issues one of the following error messages:
  • When the flow is a transfer or a line:

    *** Error: A dialog flow must have at least one "flows on" exit state.
    

  • When the flow is a transfer or a line:

    *** Error: A "link" type of dialog flow must have at least one "returns on" exit state.
    

• The autoflow command, if any. If no autoflow, this line is absent.
• The command is passed, if any, or one of the following three special literals that correspond to choices you can make in the dialog flow diagram when you detail the properties of a flow and can select the SET CMD or RTN CMD buttons:

  <SPACES> <CURRENT> <PREVIOUS>
  

• A list of the views that are matched, if any, or the message no views matched.

Entity views are listed showing the view name and the entity name, while group views show only the group view name, followed by the cardinality in parentheses. Non-repeating group views do not show a cardinality but can be distinguished from an entity view by the absence of an entity name.

When the cardinalities of the group views do not match, CA Gen adds this note below the view:

*** Note: Group view cardinalities are not the same.

When a repeating group view is matched to a non-repeating group view, CA Gen adds this note below the view:

*** Note: Group view matched to non-repeating group view.

Error and notes have three asterisks on the left. They do not necessarily indicate that an action must be taken. Use consistency check to determine if the condition is valid.
