Panel Field Descriptions

Line Commands
A or ADD

Adds a member to the Project. Depending upon the Library Code, Inventory, and Assignment options, the Inventory AUTOADD panel can be displayed and Assignment processing can be performed. Member Restriction Flags are set immediately on the newly added member. To add new member data, you must enter A or ADD on the Command line to display the Add Member Moves panel for processing. See Entering New Member Data in the "Move Requests" chapter for further details about the Add Member Moves panel.

MSL

Optional. Length: 3. Valid values: LIB, INV, IA, MR, MS, or blank. Default: blank.

This field requests CA-PanAPT to display a Member Selection List (MSL). The value entered for this field determines which type of MSL to build. When one of the following MSL types is requested, the MSL Selection Criteria panel displays.

LIB

An MSL is to be prepared based on members in a specific library. The Library MSL Selection Criteria panel, APIP699, displays.

INV

An MSL is to be prepared based on information stored in the CA-PanAPT Inventory file. The Inventory Selection Criteria panel, APIP153, displays.

IA

An MSL is to be prepared based on the results of a CA-Pan/LCM Configuration Manager Impact Analysis of the Move Request. This lets you add members to the Move Request that are impacted by other members on your Move Request. The Impact Analysis MSL Options panel, APIP155, displays.

MR

An MSL is to be prepared based on the contents of another Move Request. This can be useful if you are adding members to a Rework Move Request or if you are combining multiple Move Requests into one. The Move Request Member MSL Selection Criteria panel, APIP152, displays.

MS

An MSL is to be prepared from the current contents of the Member Scratchpad created by the Member Browse function of the Development Facility. This can be useful if you are adding members from several different Library Codes that are associated with a particular Project or Move Request. The Member Scratchpad MSL Selection Criteria panel, APIP150Y, displays.

Power Input

Optional. Length: 1. Valid values: Y (Yes) or N (No). Default: N.

Y

When the Add Member Moves panel is entered (using the ADD command), the Power Input mode is active. This option lets you add members to the Project more quickly when using the Add Member Moves panel. When initially active, the default Library Codes from the Control File System record are displayed. You can also activate Power Input mode on the Add Member Moves panel. See Entering New Member Data later in this chapter for further details about the Add Member Moves panel and the Power Input mode.

N

When the Add Member Moves panel is entered (using the ADD command), the Power Input mode is inactive.

Change Defaults

Optional. Length: 1. Valid values: Y (Yes) or N (No). Default: N.

Y

Provides the ability to supply default field values to save you input time. Use them to specify default values that can be copied into the lower panel fields by entering an equal sign (=) into the line item fields.

The POWER INPUT Options panel, APIP814P, displays to provide for the input for the following fields:

Member

Optional. Length: 1-10. Type: alphanumeric.

The value that you place in this field is substituted for each equal sign (=) in the Member columns below. You can enter a complete or partial name. The default member value is used only where you enter an equal sign below the Member field.

User-Data

Optional. Length: 1-8. Type: alphanumeric.

The value that you place in this field is substituted for each equal sign (=) in the User-Data columns below. You can enter complete or partial User-data. The default User-Data value is used only where you enter an equal sign below the User-Data field.

In the User-Data columns, characters following the equal sign are appended to the end of the value entered in the Default User-Data field. If you use the equal sign, it must be the first character in the field.

LIB/Subcode

Optional. Length: 1-7. Type: alphanumeric.

The value that you place in this field (all seven characters) is substituted for each equal sign (=) in the Library Code/Subcode column below. The default Library Code/Subcode value is used only where you enter an equal sign below the Library Code/Subcode field.

N

The defaults are not changed.

Sort

Optional. Length: 1. Valid values: Y (Yes) or N (No). Default: N.

Y

The members are sorted by the current Order (field name) specifications set by the Order action of the Development Facility. See MSL Options (MO) later in this chapter.

N

No sorting is required.

This field allows the members listed on the panel to be re-sorted. This is useful after selecting members from an MSL or after adding members.

Early-Stop Level

Display only. If this Move Request is to stop before what would normally be its final destination level, the level at which it ends is shown here.

Action Commands

When Power Input is not enabled, you can perform the following types of Action command processing:

If you use action commands DEL or PUR to delete a member name from a Move Request, the member's assignment is affected:

If you use action command C to change a member name or its Library Code, the member's assignment is affected:

If you use a non‑blank line for a Delete, the line you use is deleted if you do not change the To Member Name or the Library Code. If you change either or both of these fields, the member to which you change them is deleted, and the original member is not affected.

If you try to assign this member to yourself, assignment takes place as described in the "Inventory Records" chapter. If you try to assign and retrieve a member, assignment and retrieve takes place as described in the "Inventory Records" chapter.

If you are changing a Move Request that has been added to the Pending file through the Batch Add Interface, each member in that Move Request is processed as though the action command C was entered on each Line command. Processing continues until all members of this Move Request have been successfully verified.

Use the UP (PF7) and DOWN (PF8) commands to scroll the display.

Status

Display only. The current status of the members for the Move Request displays.

A

Member has not been properly Assigned, Move Request cannot be closed or moved.

I

Inventory Record has not been Approved, Move Request cannot be closed.

C

The same member was moved on another Move Request since it was added to this Move Request. Changes made concurrently to the module might need to be merged into this Move Request's copy. The Move Request cannot be closed or moved until the CDC action command is used to clear the C flag.

Notes: The C flag masks the I flag, so after clearing the C flag, the I flag might appear if it was set but not visible.

Also note that the C flag is only set if you indicated in the Control File System Information record that Concurrent Development assistance is enabled.

V

The Member Existence Exit named in the Library Code rejected the member, the Move Request cannot be closed.

*

The member is currently undergoing development using the CA‑PanAPT Development Facility.

M

Move processing has started for the Move Request, but this member has not been moved yet.

E

External processing required for this member.

S

External processing has started for this member.

W

Member has been selected for move processing, but remodeling has not completed.

CA‑PanAPT sets the status flags to alert you to resolve these error conditions. These flags are reset at the end of each change session.

The status flags, with the exception of the C flag, are also reset at Move Closure. Prior to formal Closure, you can do a Trial or Verification Close from the Move Request Closure panel, APIP190. This process checks each member and sets the member and Move Request flags according to the conditions present at that time. This process allows the owner to confirm the status of each member in preparation for formal Closure. You can periodically monitor and address any outstanding problems.

Action Command Processing

When Power Input is not enabled, you can perform the following types of Action

command processing:

If you use action commands DEL or PUR to delete a member name from a Move Request, the member's assignment is affected:

If you use action command C to change a member name or its Library Code, the member's assignment is affected:

If you use a non-blank line for a Delete, the line you use is deleted if you do not change the To Member Name or the Library Code. If you change either or both of these fields, the member to which you change them is deleted, and the original member is not affected.

If you try to assign this member to yourself, assignment takes place as described in the “Inventory Records” chapter. If you try to assign and retrieve a member, assignment and retrieve takes place as described in the “Inventory Records” chapter.

If you are changing a Move Request that has been added to the Pending file through the Batch Add Interface, each member in that Move Request is processed as though the action command C was entered on each Line command. Processing continues until all members of this Move Request have been successfully verified.

Use the UP (PF7) and DOWN (PF8) commands to scroll the display.

From Starting Level

There are ten rows available on this panel for the entry of member and User-data. You can enter member and User-data on one or more of the rows. A blank field in this column indicates that no User‑data is needed for this member.

You can enter an equal sign (=) in the first position of any field in this column and it is replaced with the default member, User‑data or Library Code/Subcode specified at the top of the panel. If you use the equal sign, you must specify a default member, User‑data, or Library Code/Subcode value above. If you do not, CA‑PanAPT gives you an error message. CA‑PanAPT appends characters that appear after the equal sign to the end of the default value to create the new value. CA‑PanAPT does field edits on the new value after substituting the default value.

Member

Required. Length: 1‑10. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the member name of the member on the Starting Level Library you want to move. The Library Code typed in the same row dictates the allowed length and characteristics of member names.

User‑Data

Required, optional, or invalid depending on the Library Code Specifications. Length: 0‑8. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter any User-data for the member on the Starting Level Library you want to move. User-data can be any additional information about the member. The Library Code entered on the same line dictates the allowed length and characteristics of User-data.

To Destination Levels

There are ten rows available on the panel for the entry of member and User-data. You can enter member and User-data on one or more of the rows.

You can enter an equal sign (=) in the first position of any field in this column. It is replaced with the default value specified at the top of the panel. If you use the equal sign, you must specify a default member or User-data value above. If you do not specify default member or User-data, CA‑PanAPT displays an error message. CA‑PanAPT appends characters that appear after the equal sign to the end of the default member or User-data value to create the new value. CA‑PanAPT edits fields on the new value after substituting the default value.

If you enter a greater-than sign (>) in the first position, the From Starting Level Member or User-data field is copied to this field. CA‑PanAPT appends characters that appear after the greater-than sign to the end of the copied value to create the new value.

Member

Required. Length: 1‑10. Type: alphanumeric. Default: from test member.

Enter the member name for all levels beyond the starting test level.

The Library Code typed on the same line dictates the allowed length and characteristics of member names. If you leave this field blank or precede it with an equal sign, the From Member name is used as the default name. Any characters you type following the equal sign are appended to the From Member name to create the To Member name.

User‑data

Required, optional, or invalid depending on the Library Code Specifications. Length: 0‑8. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the User-data for the member for all levels beyond the starting test level. User-data can be any additional information about the member. The Library Code typed on the same line dictates the allowed length and characteristics of User-data.

Library CODE / SUB

Required. Length: 1‑7. Type: alphanumeric and national characters.

This column displays all of the Library Code/Subcodes associated with the members listed on the Move Request that you selected on the Move Request Maintenance panel. You can leave the displayed Library Code/Subcodes or change them.

Note: If you leave the Library Code/Subcode blank, CA‑PanAPT copies it from the immediately preceding line. If the immediately preceding Library Code is blank, CA‑PanAPT displays an error message indicating that a Library Code is required.
