Using CA IDMS DME › CA IDMS DME Session Steps › From ADSC

From ADSC

You can invoke CA IDMS DME from the ADSC compile screen when you see the message Select 2 to review errors, then Enter to see compile errors. A CA IDMS DME Browse session of the ADSC dialog compile listing is invoked.

The errors are flagged by <E> in the line number of the error listing. The PF17 key is set at installation to FIND <E>; UP 10. When you press PF17, your first error is positioned at the center of the screen.

At this point, you can invoke a CA IDMS DME Edit session in three ways:

• Position the cursor on a line you want to change. Press PF18.
• In the Command line, type

  EDIT process-name <version>
  

  where:

  process name is the name of the process you want to edit

  version is one of the following: the numeric version number, HIGH, LOW, or blank. If you do not indicate a version number, the system default for HIGH or LOW is used.

• In the Command line, type

  EDIT
  

  Position the cursor on the line in error. Press the Enter key.

The original Browse session of the error listing remains open and you can use PF9, PF21, or the SWITCH command to switch back and forth between the Edit session and the Dialog Compile Error Listing.

Most Editing Commands are available within this Edit session, however, you cannot transfer to another Main Menu option using the EQUALS (=) Command.

When you complete the Edit session, type =X in the Command line to return control to ADSC.

If you use successive END commands to back out of the Browse session of the Dialog Compile Errors listing, control returns to the CA IDMS DME Main Menu. Notice that the Main Menu now includes Option I ADSC Interface, which is used to review and modify ADSC compile errors.

After you exit CA IDMS DME, control returns to the ADSC Compile screen. At the Command line, type 1 and press the Enter key to re-invoke a compile of your edited dialog.
