Format Parameters--Optional Statements

CA IDMS Schema Mapper has four parameter statements for tailoring the format of the diagram.

OPTIONS--Used to specify the page dimensions (in number of lines down and number of characters across) of the diagram, the amount of border space surrounding record blocks, and whether or not unused space is compressed from the diagram.

CHARDEF--Used to specify the graphic components of the diagram that are primarily printer-dependent. These components include characters used for drawing arrows, set connections, and record blocks.

DRECLINE--Used to select the information to be included in record blocks and to specify the sequence of the information within the record blocks, as they appear in the data structure diagram.

DSETLINE--Used to select and format the information to be included in the descriptions of both sets and indexes appearing in the data structure diagram.
