Procedure Modules › Processing Data Dictionary Reporter Tables (CULLUS64) › Helpful Hints

Helpful Hints

CA Culprit dynamically creates a single external table that can be used by one or more reports. The total number of table entries need not be known at run time.
Be sure to move CMT-ID-nnn or NEST-ID-nnn to a numeric work field and specify that work field on the CALL statement.
Nnn must be positive integers.
CULLUS64 does not retrieve system-defined relationships.

Example

This example shows the parameters required to produce a Data Dictionary Report based on CLASS attributes identified by the key CMT-ID-086.

The following code:

Specifies a CA IDMS/DB database and subschemas IDMSNWKA of schema IDMSNTWK on the INPUT parameter
Identifies the route through the data dictionary on the PATH parameter

Issues a CALL to CULLUS64 to retrieve user-defined comment entities
