Printing Parameter Lists › About This Appendix

About This Appendix

This appendix provides information on how to control printing of the parameter lists that are supplied at run time. Two lists of CA Culprit parameters are printed at run time.

Sequential Parameter Listing

This is generated during the precompile phase of CA Culprit processing. The parameters are printed in the order they are submitted; parameters that CA Culprit generates are not shown.

The Sequential Parameter Listing also shows the parameters that are copied from stored code; the parameters for code copied by the USE parameter and by =COPY or =MACRO appear as follows:

• Code copied by the USE parameter is identified by a nesting level number in the Sequential Parameter Listing. Modifications made by CA Culprit appear in this listing.
• Code copied by =COPY and =MACRO parameters is identified by a plus sign (+) next to each copied parameter. Modifications made by CA Culprit do not appear in this listing.

Input Parameter Listing

This listing is generated during the compile phase of CA Culprit processing. The parameters are listed in an order determined by CA Culprit's standard sort. Both user-defined and CA Culprit generated parameters appear in this listing along with default values assumed by CA Culprit.

The Input Parameter Listing also shows the internal code generated by CA Culprit in response to the following conditions:

• A compound arithmetic operation identified by the keyword COMPUTE on a process definition parameter
• A compound conditional operation identified by the keyword IF on a process definition parameter
• A compound conditional operation on a SELECT/BYPASS parameter, identified by the keywords AND and OR

The internal code documents simple statements generated by CA Culprit from the compound user-coded statements. This facility allows users to follow CA Culprit's processing logic.

The Input Parameter Listing also includes the modifications performed by CA Culprit on code copied by an =COPY or =MACRO parameter. Modifications performed by CA Culprit on code copied by a USE parameter appear in the Sequential Parameter Listing.
