CATALOG DATAVIEW Command

The CATALOG DATAVIEW command or equivalent CATALOG prompter catalogs a dataview using the CATALOG command. You can also access the CATALOG prompter by selecting Option 5 on the Administration Maintenance Menu or Option 2 on the Dataview Menu. One or many CATALOG commands can be issued in a batch run of CA Ideal.

A dataview must be cataloged before CA Ideal can use it. When the CATALOG command is processed, a DISPLAY DATAVIEW command is automatically invoked. CATALOG results in a cataloged dataview definition ready for CA Ideal use. If the dataview is in production status, any CA Ideal program naming the dataview as a resource that compiles successfully can execute.

If one or more rules are violated, a list of error messages displays at the bottom of the dataview display (or, if the CATALOG command is issued using CA Ideal in batch, a listing is printed).

This command has the following format:

        {       *                                  }
CATALOG {                {authid.dvw‑name       } }
        {[dbms] DATAVIEW {dvw‑name [VERSION ver]} }

        [       {VALIDATION  } ]
        [[WITH] {NOVALIDATION} ]
