Step 6. Define Record Level Selection Criteria--DEPT Record

You must define Record Level Selection Criteria for each Entry Record selected or record indexed by an Entry Index and all records selected in subsequent sets within the path definition. This is the criteria the Database Extract Component uses. The Record Level Selection Criteria screen for the DEPT record is shown below.

CA IDMS Extractor fills in the current Entry Record or Index Name; the current Path Record Name; its from/to page numbers; how the record is accessed; and the area, record, or set name. The record can be accessed by either an area sweep, an Entry Index, or a set walk. In this case, the DEPT record is accessed by an area sweep because it is an Entry Record.

There is also an indication on the screen as to whether the Selection Criteria Specification is complete or not complete. For the example, the Specification is not complete.
