Working with other options in the TRANSFORM menu

The TRANSFORM menu has other significant options that have been covered in this section.

This configuration should be verified before applying the modifications (AAPYFRMCHG).

It allows you to set the colors of the source lines flagged and/or modified by ARCAD Transformer Field.

Added lines imply:

  • Actual added lines
  • Verified lines
  • Modified lines

Deleted lines imply:

  • Actual deleted lines (in comment)
  • The previous version of a line (now in comment)

The indicated value corresponds to the hexadecimal code which is transformed into a color attribute.

The ACLRDRVFLD command can be considered as a purge command that allows you to eliminate information from the ARCAD files generated by the propagation.

Its execution is not obligatory but is recommended at the end of processing a problem using ARCAD Transformer Field, when you no longer need to consult the propagation information.

When you run this command, only one parameter is required:

  • The name and library of the derived fields list file (LSTDRVFLD)

The process deletes:

  • The propagation information stored in the files in the ARCAD database (ARD…F1).
  • Then the list will be deleted.
Warning!

This purging does not remove the source line flags or modifications stored in ARDCHSF1, visible by AWRKFRMCHG.

There is no need to run this command when you restart an entire propagation It is automatically run by the propagation in Step 1 – Entry in the programs.

In the FRM menu, you can find an option allowing to run the ACVTLST command for various conversion types like the options *FLDTOMBR, *OBJTOMBR and *MBRTOOBJ.

You must specify a new output (type M = source member).

It allows you to obtain a list of source members from a detailed list of fields of these source members.

You can use this option at any time, for example:

  • To obtain the list of physical files from the list of fields to propagate.
  • To obtain the list of impacted components (Program and LF) after having started steps 1 and 2 of the propagation (from the LSTDRVFLD).
  • To obtain the list of display fields and impacted printouts (DSPF and PRTF) after having started steps 1 and 2 of the propagation (from the LSTDDSFLD). You will also be given the PF and LF in this list.
