Path Set Deselection Screen

The Path Set Deselection screen is displayed when you deselect a path set on the Path-Record Set Selection List screen. Deselecting a path implies that all sets selected in the path after the deselected set are also deselected. However, the deselected process stops at recursive records. Sets selected in the path after recursive records are not deselected. This allows you to flip-flop the way sets are walked in recursive structures.

Deselecting a path set can have one of two effects:

• If the path set does not participate in a recursive structure, deselecting a path set implies that ALL sets selected in the path AFTER the deselected set are also deselected.
• If the owner-member record of this set participates in a recursive structure and is therefore accessed by other sets in the path, you have one of the following options:
  • Deselect THIS set only (Option T)
  • Deselect this set and ALL selected sets in the path AFTER this set (Option A).

Thus, you can deselect only one set or flip-flop the way a recursive bill-of-materials structure is walked.
