Verification Considerations

You cannot verify the CA Ideal message library (default name ADRLIB), the CA Ideal panel library (default name ADRPNL), or the Print Subsystem output library (default name ADROUT). If you specify the above libraries, the command is rejected. You can verify the Dataview, Plan, and Data Member libraries (IDDVW and IDDAT) and any user Source, Object, or Panel libraries.

The checks that are made for a member depend on the type code, as shown in the following. list:

• Type B-PLAN. Can only be present on the Plan library as defined through the CA Ideal Options block assembly. By default, this is IDDVW.
• Types D and K-DATAVIEW object and source. Can only be present on the Dataview library, defined in the CA Ideal Options block and defaulting to IDDVW. For these types, a matching entity definition on the dictionary facility is required.
• Types T and J-PROGRAM object required for RUN. For these types, a PROD status system matching the system short id found in the member name must be present on the dictionary. The object library for the system must be the one being verified. The program name is checked in the dictionary, although where version is PRD, this is not required (object-transported programs). Where applicable, the object sequence codes are checked to ensure they are consecutive.
• Type U-PANEL. This member is required for RUN. The system short ID in the member name must match that of a system in PROD status in the dictionary. The panel library for the system must be the one being verified. There need not be a corresponding dictionary entity for a transported panel.
• Types A, N, Q and V-Compiled object components. Used by the CA Ideal incremental compilation process. The system short ID in the member name must match a system in PROD status on the dictionary. The object library for that system must be the one being verified. The program or panel must also be defined on the dictionary.
• Types L, P, R and W-Source components. The system short ID in the member name must match a system in PROD status on the dictionary. The source library for that system must be the one being verified. The program or report must also be defined on the dictionary.
• Type Z-Data Member. Can only be present on the data library defined in the CA Ideal options block (default IDDAT). The user short ID in the member name must match that of a user in PROD status on the dictionary.

Other types are either unrecognized or, as in the case of help members, on the wrong library. (Help members reside on the message library, which is not eligible for verification.)

If a non-Ideal member is added to a VLS library, it can cause internal errors in the utility. These members can easily be recognized in a VLSUTIL LIBRARY listing. If you suspect that a library is corrupt, check first using VLSUTIL delete illegally named members, and then check for consistency with the dictionary, using IDUTILTY.
