What You Can Do

You can list related occurrences of records in the database.

How to Do It

To access the database, code:

1. A DATABASE parameter with the DICTNAME= option if you are using an alternate dictionary
2. An INPUT parameter with the following information:
   1. DB to specify that the report is accessing a database
   2. SS= with the name of the subschema you are using
   3. The path name (PATH-ID)
   4. The name of each record as it is encountered on the path
3. Type 5 parameters with appropriate field names (as listed in the subschema)

Note: CA Culprit automatically generates REC parameters from the definitions stored in the data dictionary. REC parameters do not have to be coded unless you want field names or data types that are different from those given in the subschema.
