Data Types
This function is used to search for a data type (or a group of types characterised by a template name) in the dictionary elements of a folder (tables, screens), but also in all the other tables where these type codes exist (report dictionary, requestor, ...).
Screen management
Entry screen
Entry into this function triggers the display of a window in which the search setups are entered.
After this screen is validated, the function covers the corresponding elements of the dictionary (progression bars display for each type of element), then a log file listing the various elements found is displayed.
Block number 1
| Data type (field TYP) |
|
Used to enter the data type looked for. |
| Local menu (field MENLOC) |
|
If the type searched for is M (local menu), a local menu number can be entered here if wanting to limit the search to the corresponding local menu (if not all the local menus will be searched). |
| Miscellaneous table no. (field TABDIV) |
|
If the data type searched for is ADI (miscellaneous table), the table number can be entered her in order to limit the search on the corresponding miscellaneous table (if not, all the miscellaneous tables are searched). |
| Length (field LNG) |
|
When the data type looked for is a generic type such as A (character string), C (short integer), L (long integer), DCB (Decimal), a length is entered here. If it is entered, only the elements that are characterized by both type and length are searched for ; if this value is set to zero, all the elements are searched for. |

If the box is checked, the search for the types is made in the dictionary tables of the software. |

| Classes (field ACLA) |
| Representations (field ASW) |
