This screen lists the file definition steps that you defined.
You can change specifications for any step by typing an S on

Figure 3-106. Meta File Screen
Before you execute your meta file definition inquiry, you
must first validate it to ensure that you have defined all of
the necessary steps. For instance, if you specify more than
one file and data element selection step, then the online
facility ensures that you also specify a cross-file data
element definition step to cause the data from each of the
file and data element selection steps to be merged.
You may request validation of your meta file definition
inquiry by typing a V (or VALIDATE) at the Command prompt of
the Meta File screen and pressing ENTER. Diagnostic messages
inform you that the inquiry has been validated or why it
cannot be validated so you can correct the inquiry step
specifications and request validation again.
If you are unable to validate your inquiry and want to defer
correcting the problems until a later time, END from this
screen to save your unvalidated inquiry. The Capacity
Planning Database Files screen, which displays the meta file
definition inquiries in your catalog, is displayed.
After you validate your meta file definition inquiry, you
have an opportunity to execute the inquiry and update the
Capacity Planning database file by typing a Y at the Update
Capacity Planning database file prompt and pressing ENTER.
The Update Capacity Planning File screen shown in Figure
3-101 is displayed. After execution processing is completed,
the Meta File screen is redisplayed. After you are satisfied
with all the specifications, type END at the Command prompt
to save your meta file definition. The Capacity Planning
database File screen is then redisplayed.
