Step 1: Retrieve the Process Module Definition

In order to retrieve a process module, you must first invoke the IDD menu facility by using its task code (for example, IDDMT). For example, when using CA IDMS/DC, you invoke the IDD menu facility as shown:

ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:
iddmt 
                                                                [Enter]

After you invoke the IDD menu facility, you may need to provide signon information.

For more information on invoking and signing on to the IDD menu facility, see Step 1: Invoke the IDD Menu Facility.

You display a process module definition on the Process Entity screen. You can transfer to this screen and request display of an existing process module at the same time. To do this, enter the identifier for the screen (PROC) in the command area of an IDD menu facility screen, followed by the name of the process module.

Displaying a Process Module Definition

For example, you can display process module XXXDADD-RESPONSE from the Master Selection screen by specifying PROC and the process module name in the command area.

                      CA                  CAGJF0       IDD REL 15.0              *** MASTER SELECTION ***                   TOP  -> proc xxxdadd-response              DICTIONARY NAME...: DEMO         NODE NAME..:              USER NAME.........:              PASSWORD..........:              USAGE MODE........: X UPDATE    _ RETRIEVAL              PFKEY SIMULATION..: X OFF       _ ON

The process module definition is displayed.

Process Entity Screen

      IDD REL 15.0                *** PROCESS ENTITY ***                   PROC  ->                                   DICT=DEMO  X DISPLAY      PROCESS NAME....: XXXDADD-RESPONSE  _ MODIFY  _ ADD          VERSION NUMBER..: 1       _ HIGHEST    _ NEXT HIGHEST  _ DELETE                                 _ LOWEST     _ NEXT LOWEST                 DESCRIPTION.....:

After you press [Enter], IDD displays basic information about the specified process module on the Process Entity screen, along with a message like:

PROCESS 'XXXDADD-RESPONSE' VERSION 1 DISPLAYED

You can make modifications to specifications on the Process Entity screen, if necessary, and then press [Enter] to store the modified information.
