Step 1: Retrieve Dialog XXXDUPD

In order to retrieve a dialog, you must be using ADSC.

If you did not transfer to ADSC earlier in this chapter when you exited from the IDD menu facility, you need to invoke ADSC. To do this, enter the task code (for example, ADSCT) for ADSC. For more information on invoking ADSC, see Step 1: Invoke ADSC.

ADSC begins by displaying the Main Menu screen. To retrieve a dialog, you identify the dialog on a blank Main Menu screen:

[Enter]

Press [Enter] to check the application out.

Note: If the dialog has been checked out to another developer and has not been released by that developer, you will not be able to check it out.

After you press [Enter], ADSC displays dialog XXXDUPD on the Main Menu screen, along with the following messages:

NO SCHEMA/SUBSCHEMA - NO DATABASE CALLS ALLOWED
NO ERRORS DETECTED

The NO ERRORS DETECTED message is the message you should look for after retrieving a dialog definition. After you successfully retrieve XXXDUPD, you can associate a subschema with the dialog.
