Working with the TRANSFORM menu: Propagation and Transformations
The following options of the TRANSFORM menu regroup all the ARCAD Transformer Field operations concerning propagation and transformation.
It is divided into several parts as indicated in the table(s) below:
Current environment
Option | ARCAD Command |
---|---|
Re-initialize the current environment | AINZCURENV
|
Display the current environment | ADSPCURENV
|
These options allow you to enter an open version (and to verify the current version) before starting the propagation, modification and application functions in ARCAD Transformer Field.
Configure the propagation
Option | ARCAD Command |
---|---|
Work with propagation types | AWRKPRPTYP
|
Work with standard routines | AWRKSTDRTN
|
Configure ARCAD Transformer Field using these two screens. For it to adapt to the propagation and/or automatic modifications, you require:
Automatic Propagation and Transformation | ARCAD command |
---|---|
Generate field names added to PF files | ACVTDBFFLD
|
Automatic modifications in the PF file's DDS | ACVTDBFFLD
|
Automatic propagation and modification of programs | ACVTPGMFLD
|
Automatic modification of DSPF/PRTF DDS | ACVTDDSFLD
|
Work with transformer changes | AWRKFRMCHG
|
Print propagation impact analysis | APRTFRMCHG
|
Display derived fields of propagation | ADSPDRVFLD
|
Update the list of propagation limiters | ASETPRPSTP
|
Here are two lists where you can find the 3 automatic transformation and propagation engines:
- List of fields impacted in the programs - LSTDRVFLD
- List of DB fields and DSPF/PRTF fields to be impacted - LSTDDSFLD
If you carry out a propagation without modifications, you will only start the ACVTPGMFLD
(in steps 1 and 2). Then:
AWRKFRMCHG
will allow you to visualize the impacted components and the line details.APRTFRMCHG
will allow you to print the impact analysis.ADSPDRVFLD
will allow you to display the derived fields and especially, to go back through the propagation.ASETPRPSTP
will allow you to set the propagation stoppers.
Lastly, you can visualize the two lists resulting from the propagation (LSTDRVFLD and LSTDDSFLD).
