Defining Charges › Charge Elements Panels › Charge Units Entry Panel

Charge Units Entry Panel

You only select this panel, using F7 on the Charge Elements Entry panel, when you are defining a complex charge unit. A complex charge unit is a user-defined entity (indicated by the @ prefix) that is a computed item. The algorithm for @CPU-TIME is shown below. This panel is used to validate the Charge Unit name on the Charge Elements Entry panel shown as a protected display field.

Note: The first time this panel appears, you are in insert mode; no lines appear under the Cmd column, the scroll bar does not show a row count, and the only active panel function keys are F2, F5, and F11. When you press F5 (Save), a message appears telling you the insert is successful. At this point, you are in update mode. The panel scroll bar provides a row count, the Cmd column is active (lines appear under the column) and all panel function keys are active. Pressing F5 (Save) displays a message telling you the update is successful.

Next is a description of the Charge Units Entry panel.

Access

The Charge Units Entry panel appears when one of these events occurs:

• You press F2 (Create) on the Charge Units Primary panel shown in Charge Units Primary Panel.
• You press F7 (Unit) on the Charge Elements Entry panel shown in Charge Elements Entry Panel.
• You return from the Expanded Units Entry panel.

Scrolling

F7 and F8 let you scroll backward and forward through the charge unit entries. You can also use the scroll bar to move through the charge unit entries.

Input

The Charge Units Entry panel contains the following input fields:

Cmd

Use this column to specify commands. Valid commands include:

D Deletes lines from the calculation.

I Inserts lines into the calculation using the Unit Insert (CBCUNII) pop-up window. Refer to Sample Entry Panel Insert Pop-Up Window for information on how to use the Insert window.

ORD Field/@Unit

Can refer to either a valid field defined in the ORD or another user-defined charge unit (indicated by the @ prefix) applying to the same ORD. Thus, complex calculations can be performed in an hierarchical manner.

Caution Sequencing of items is critical.

Aop

(Arithmetic operator): + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division).

Field/Constant

List any constants or ORD fields used in the definition of a complex charge unit.

Note: When specifying constants, they must be enclosed in single quotes. For example, '.5' as shown on the panel on the preceding page.

Aop

(Arithmetic operator) a link used to continue the calculation: + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division).

Actions

F2=Xref

Gives you a cross-referenced listing of other complex units that reference this complex unit.

F5=Save

Lets you add and update rows in the Charge Units table.

F6=Delete

Lets you delete all entries from the Charge Units table.

F7=Bkwd

Lets you scroll backward through the table.

F8=Fwd

Lets you scroll forward through the table.

F11=Expand

Presents you with an eight-line display of the Charge Units Entry panel.
