This Pocket guide describes the command language used to access the different VisualAge Pacbase
screens.

All VisualAge Pacbase screens can be accessed via input in the OPERATION CODE and CHOICE fields
(O: CH:), located at the bottom of the screens.
The OPERATION CODE field is made up of 2 characters. The first character indicates the desired sub-
network and the second indicates the requested screen presentation option.
The CHOICE field is used to select a screen.

A set of hierarchical "MENUS" guide the user in accessing the various screens of the System.
The General Menu can be accessed by entering "H" in the CHOICE field, or by pressing PF5, or, on the
sign-on screen, by pressing ENTER with no input in the CHOICE field.
An Entity sub-menu may be accessed by positioning the cursor on the desired sub-menu line and
pressing ENTER. If the cursor position is not supported by the hardware in use, enter a slash "/" in the
input field of the corresponding line and pressing ENTER.

Conventions
In the entities choices descriptions, (M) means Update allowed.

 1. THE FUNCTION KEYS
The access to the various screens, in VisualAge Pacbase database, is facilitated by the cursor position or
the Use of PFkeys.
The use of these functions depends on the hardware and operating system in use at the site. If the
hardware does not support the standard use of function keys, you can use ".nn" Choice to simulate
"PFnn" function key use (for example, PF7 —> CH: .7).
In any case, the use of the standard command language is always valid.
The standard assignment of Function Keys is resumed as follows:

Number Standard significance

PF1 Recall screen memorized in M1 (equivalent to operation code R1)
PF2 Recall screen memorized in M2 (equivalent to operation code R2)
PF3 Recall screen memorized in M3 (equivalent to operation code R3)
PF4 Call screen-related HELP (equivalent to action code "?")
PF5 Return to main menu (equivalent to choice "H")
PF6 Return to initial sign-on screen (equivalent to operation code "FT")
PF7 Inhibits implicit action codes. (Ej.: poner varias líneas „C‟ y pulsar F7 en
vez de Intro para copiar solamente dichas líneas).
PF8 CICS: "-TC" screen display starting from cursor position
PF9 Call of "-TC" screen from "-PG" and vice-versa or Zoom on key
description from screen B......DR
PF10 Branch to Entity Definition screen
PF11 Branch to Entity or Description Line General Documentation ("G")
PF12 End of session with conversation saved (CICS only)

2. THE CHOICE FIELD

2.1. Presentation
2.1.1. Access an Entity
 Each entity is identified by a 1-character entity type code:

BY n2 {GIVING n3 {REMAINDER n4}}).
MES lit|var… Display message
ACC Accept (Ej.: ACC DATOR FROM DATE, ACC WWBB-HORA FROM TIME).
Nota: DATE y TIME son variables del sistema que se utilizan en Batch, no en On-Line, donde la
fecha se obtiene con las instrucciones propias de Pacbase que se traducen en llamada CICS a
ASKTIME y FORMATTIME. Otra posibilidad para obtener o realizar operaciones con
fechas/horas en programas con DB2 es utilizar la instrucción EXQ SET var = CURRENT DATE,
CURRENT TIME, CURRENT TIMESTAMP, :W-FECHA1 - :W-FECHA2, etc.
STR String
UNS Unstring
CAL Call
GT nn Go to end of current sub-function with level number nn
GFT Go to end of iteration. On-line: end of category processing (F3999-ITER-FT en recepción y
F6999-ITER-FT en display); Batch: end of program (se convierte en MOVE ALL „1‟ TO FT y
GO TO F20).
GDI Go to beginning of iteration. On-line: next occurrence of current category, or next
category; Batch: F05.
GB nn Go to beginning of current loop with level number nn
EXA Examine (Ej.: EXA var REPLACING LEADING „ „ BY „0‟)

SUP Suppress
SCH tabla dato Search (not COBOL search). (Búsqueda secuencial utilizando índices IddddR/IddddL)
SCB tabla dato Search (on sorted table)
ADT {dest} Call system date (6 characters). (Por defecto en DATOR en formato AAMMDD, o bien en la
variable X(6) que se indique. En Batch se traduce en ACCEPT DATOR FROM DATE, y si se
indica una variable, sigue un MOVE DATOR TO var).
ADC {dest} System date with century (8 characters). (Análoga a ADT, pero por defecto en DATCE en
formato CCAAMMDD)
AD fmt ori des Date format: Century positioned from CENTUR field. (Ej.: AD DC W-FECHA6 W-FECHA8,
copia W-FECHA6 en formato D en W-FECHA8 en formato C).
AD0 Date format: Century positioned from DAT-CTY
AD1 Date format: Century set to "19" if year value in DAT-CTYT field.
AD2 Date format: Century set to "20" if year value in DAT-CTYT field.
ADI {orig dest} Date inversion (6 characters). (En la misma variable que se indique, o bien se puede indicar
origen y destino).
ADE {dest} Date with slash (8 characters). (Por defecto guarda DD/MM/AA en DAT8, pero se puede
indicar una variable X(8) como destino. También alimenta DATCE en formato CCAAMMDD y
DAT6 en formato AAMMDD. Si se desea cambiar el separador de fecha, hay que darle un valor al
principio del programa, por ejemplo en F01: M „-‟ DATSEP DATSET).

- 19 -
TIM {dest} TIME HHMMSS format. (Se guarda en TIMCO X(8) o bien en la variable que se indique. En
Batch se traduce en ACCEPT TIMCO FROM TIME, mientras que en On-Line se traduce en una
llamada ASKTIME de CICS).
TIF {orig {dest}} HHMMSS to HH:MM:SS. (Por defecto utiliza TIMDAY).

6.1.1. Date Formats

D Display
E Extended
I Internal
C Display with centur
M Extended with centur
S Internal with centur
MMDDYY or DDMMYY
MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY
YYMMDD
MMDDCCYY or DDMMCCYY
MM/DD/CCYY or DD/MM/CCYY
CCYYMMDD

6.1.2. Los Comentarios en Pacbase

Un comentario en Pacbase elimina el punto final del párrafo anterior. Por ejemplo:
M 1 A 99IT condición Se convierte en:
M 2 B IF condición
* Comentario MOVE 1 TO A
M 3 C 99BL MOVE 2 TO B
MOVE 3 TO C
Es decir, el 99BL añade un punto al final del párrafo anterior, pero el comentario se lo quita, con lo que el tercer
“move” queda dentro del “if”. Lo correcto sería:
M 1 A 99IT condición Se convierte en:
M 2 B IF condición
* Comentario 99BL MOVE 1 TO A
M 3 C MOVE 2 TO B.
MOVE 3 TO C
Recuerdo que en el caso de CajaMadrid (Las Rozas – Madrid) el propio traductor de Pacbase/Cobol se encargaba de
eliminar todos los comentarios del código de Pacbase antes de convertirlo a Cobol, con lo que no se producía este
problema.

6.2. COBOL II Operators

CON Continue (no operand)
EVA Evaluate
EVT Evaluate True
EVF Evaluate False
EEV END-Evaluate (no operand)
EIF END-IF (no operand)
EPE END-PERFORM (no operand)
ESE END-SEARCH (no operand)
INI INITIALIZE
SEA SEARCH
GOB GO BACK

6.3. SQL Operators

EXQ EXEC SQL... END-EXEC
SCC CONNECT order (or its like)
SDC DISCONNECT order (or its like)
SCO COMMIT order.
SRO ROLLBACK order.
SWH WHENEVER order.

6.4. Operators for Batch Only

Nota: Hay que tener en cuenta que en un programa P-OnLine (es decir, una entidad P compilada como rutina On-
Line) los operadores generan exactamente las mismas instrucciones Cobol que si fueran realmente Batch.

OPE dd Open (genera OPEN INPUT dd-FILE)

CLO dd Close
R ddss File read
W ddss File write

- 20 -
RW ddss File rewrite
RN dd File read next (VSAM)
STA dd File start read (VSAM)
DEL Record delete (VSAM)
SRT Sort
E Error message
ADM Insertion of slashes in a date with century
ADS Date inversion with century (Pasa de formato CCAAMMDD a DDMMCCAA)

6.4.1. Browse de un Fichero VSAM

Para recorrer un fichero VSAM en Batch se utilizan los operadores STA (Start) y RN (ReadNext). El primero
posiciona el puntero de lectura en el primer registro que se desea leer, y el segundo lee dicho fichero. A diferencia
de On-Line, el Start no realiza a la vez la lectura del primer registro.

La definición del fichero VSAM en la –CD del programa se realiza de la siguiente forma:
A DP CO : DL EXTERN OARFU BLOCK T B M U RE SE L UNIT C SELECTION F E R L PL
YF : YF LMPR VDFID 0 R C *0001 I 1 1
: STAT.FLD: YF00STATUS ACC. KEY: KYG

Aquí KYG es la clave del fichero, mientras que STATUS FIELD genera una variable 1-YF00-STATUS PIC XX
que vale ZERO („00‟) si no hubo error, „97‟ si el OPEN se realizó correctamente, etc.

Por otra parte, la instrucción STA tendría la siguiente forma: STA YF NOT< YF00-KYG, y se traduciría en el
siguiente código en Cobol:
MOVE 0 TO IK
START YF-FILE KEY NOT < YF00-KYG
INVALID KEY MOVE 1 TO IK.

Mientras que la instrucción RN tendría la siguiente forma: RN YF, y se traduciría en el siguiente código en Cobol:
MOVE 0 TO IK
READ YF-FILE NEXT AT END MOVE 1 TO IK.

6.5. Operators for On-Line Only

AD6 ADT and ADI (on-line).
Nota: En On-Line los operadores de fecha y hora se traducen en llamada CICS a ASKTIME y
FORMATTIME. Otra posibilidad para obtener o realizar operaciones con fechas/horas en programas con
DB2 es utilizar la instrucción EXQ SET var = CURRENT TIME, CURRENT TIME, CURRENT
TIMESTAMP, :W-FECHA1 - :W-FECHA2, etc.
AD8 ADE (on-line)
GF Go to end of automatic sub-function. (Por ejemplo, dentro de una F2510*A para saltarse un acceso
bajo ciertas condiciones).
GFR Go to end-of-reception
GFA Go to end-of-display
GDB Branch to start of current loop
OTP Immediate transfer to screen of external name
OSC Screen transfer
OSD Deterred screen transfer
XR Read segment (Perform of paragraph F80-ddss-R)
XP Read first occurrence of segment
XRN Read next occurrence of segment
XRU Read for update of segment
XW Write segment
XRW Rewrite segment
XD Delete segment
XUN Unlock segment (VSAM)
Yaa Create paragraph labels (F80-ddss-aa)
Xaa With Yaa, Perform of paragraph F80-ddss-aa
ERU User error (specified at dialogue level). (en la –G del diálogo)
ERR User field error. (en la –G de la pantalla)
EXC EXEC CICS

- 21 -
6.5.1. Fin de Bucle de Repetitiva con GDI y GDB
En On-Line el operador GDI en display realiza un salto al inicio del bucle de repetitiva actual, pero aumentando el
ICATR, es decir, la línea de repetitiva actual quedará en blanco. Por eso lo normal es utilizar el operador GDB
cuando no queremos mostrar registros que no cumplan determinadas condiciones. En este caso el ICATR no se
incrementa y se pasa a leer y validar el siguiente registro del fichero sin dejar ninguna fila en blanco en pantalla.

6.5.2. Bifurcación Inmediata y Diferida

Normalmente se utiliza el operador OSC para realizar una bifurcación inmediata en un programa. El código en
Cobol que se obtiene es el mismo que se genera en automático al definir en la –CE la bifurcación en automático
sobre el operador de función (por ejemplo la variable CFUNP en Arcelor). Suponiendo un programa que vuelve a la
pantalla LMRCPI0 con operador CFUNP=‟F‟, en F0520 se genera la siguiente validación del OPER:
IF I-daoo-CFUNP = ‘F’
MOVE ‘LMRCPI0’ TO 5-daoo-PROGE
MOVE ‘O’ TO OPER (o bien „E‟ de End si se sale del programa)
GO TO F40-A.
Es decir, salta a F40 (ya que F40-A está al principio de F40) y termina el programa saltando a otra pantalla.

En el caso de la bifurcación diferida con OSD, o bien en automático en la –CE, se generaría el siguiente código:
IF I-daoo-CFUNP = ‘F’
MOVE ‘LMRCPI0’ TO 5-daoo-PROGE
MOVE ‘O’ TO OPER OPERD (o bien „E‟ de End si se sale del programa)
GO TO F0520-900.
Es decir, el programa continúa su ejecución y sólo bifurca al llegar a F40 y comprobar el valor de OPERD.

6.6. Operators for Business Component Only

GFA End of selection processing (Branch to the Fvunn-SELC-FN label).
GFR End of validation/update processing (Branch to the Fvunn-CHUP-FN label).
GDB Return to the beginning of current iteration (Branch to the Fvunn-CHUP-CATR-SVRx-CHCK
label or Fvunn-SELC-CATR-SVRx-SELC label).
GDI Go to the beginning of next iteration (Branch to the Fvunn-CHUP-CATR-SVRx-DONE label
or Fvunn-SELC-CATR-SVRx-DONE label).
GFT Go to the end of iteration (Branch to the Fvunn-CHUP-CATR-FN label or Fvunn-SELC-
CATR-FN label).
GF ENDV Go to end of logical view processing (Branch to the Fvunn-ENDV label).
XT Allows you to call an elementary processing (transfers, processing on Segment, ...).
ERL Logical error indicator on control/update access Error on Lock or Unlock query ordered by a
graphical client (MOVE "L" TO TECH-IERRU)
NB: For a detailed description of Structures Types, Operator and of Specific operators lists (On-line
monitors or Database), see the Structured Code Reference Manual.

6.7. Structured code condition types

BL Block

IT If then

EL Else (only after an IT)

CO Case of (followed by IT's)

- 22 -
DW Do while

DU Do until

DO Do (Generates Subscript: JffssR)

(Ej.: F61BB 20DO NTOTAL 0 -1, equivale a un bucle “for”, por defecto el incremento es 1, y genera el
índice J61BBR para recorrer por ejemplo una tabla y acceder a sus elementos)
OR Or
AN And

6.7.1. Condiciones con “If”, “Case of” y “Evaluate”

Si se necesita distinguir entre varias condiciones, se pueden utilizar varios “If” al mismo nivel, por ejemplo:
BB ... 99IT condición1 O bien en varias subfunciones si el código de cada
BB ... condición lo requiere o se gana en claridad:
BB ... 99IT condición2 BB N ... 10IT condición1
BB ... BB ...
BB ... 99IT condición3 BE N ... 10IT condición2
BB ... BE ...
BG N ... 10IT condición3
BG ...

Haciéndolo así se recorren y evalúan todas las condiciones, además de que no sería fácil añadir un caso “else”
cuando no se cumpliera ninguna de las condiciones. Es más eficiente utilizar varios “If” anidados, aunque el código
sea más engorroso de escribir al tener que utilizar varios subniveles:
BB N ... 10IT condición1
BB ...
BD N ... 10EL
BF N ... 15IT condición2
BF ...
BI N ... 15EL
BK N ... 20IT condición3
BK ...
BM N ... 20EL
BM ...

Otra alternativa es la instrucción “Case of” de Pacbase, que tendría la siguiente forma:
BB N ... 10CO var
BB ...
BD N ... 15IT valor1
BD ...
BF N ... 15IT valor2
BF ...
BK N ... 15IT valor3
BK ...
BM N ... 15EL
BM ...
La desventaja es que los “If” que se generan no son anidados, además de que sólo admite uno o varios valores en los
“IT” (ej.: 15IT „A‟ OR „B‟ OR „C‟) y la comparación siempre se realiza por igual, pero no admite ningún otro tipo
de condiciones.

La última alternativa es la instrucción “Evaluate” de Cobol, que tendría la siguiente forma:

BB EVA var
BB ... 99WH valor1 (cláusula WHEN; admite rangos del tipo valor1 THRU valor2)
BB ...

- 23 -
 BB ... 99WH valor2
BB ...
BB ... 99WH valor3
BB ...
BB ... 99WH OTHER (cláusula WHEN OTHER)
BB ...
BB EEV (cláusula END-EVALUATE)

Además también admite una forma EVALUATE TRUE para condiciones:

BB EVT (equivale a EVA TRUE, es decir, EVALUATE TRUE en Cobol; también existe EVF o EVA FALSE)
BB ... 99WH condición1
BB ...
BB ... 99WH condición2
BB ...
BB ... 99WH condición3
BB ...
BB ... 99WH OTHER
BB ...
BB EEV

Finalmente también existe una forma más compleja con la cláusula ALSO que permite evaluar más de una variable
a la vez:
EVALUATE TRUE ALSO Position
WHEN W-TECLA = ‘IZDA’ ALSO 2 THRU 80 SUBTRACT 1 FROM Position
WHEN W-TECLA = ‘IZDA’ ALSO 1 MOVE 10 TO Position
WHEN W-TECLA = ‘DCHA’ ALSO 1 THRU 79 ADD 1 TO Position
WHEN W-TECLA = ‘DCHA’ ALSO 80 MOVE 1 TO Position
WHEN OTHER PERFORM CharProcessing
END-EVALUATE

Este ejemplo es algo así como una rutina simplificada de gestión del teclado en un editor de texto: se evalúa
simultáneamente la tecla de flecha izquierda/derecha pulsada y la posición actual del cursor. En el EVALUATE hay
2 elementos separados por ALSO, uno de tipo lógico y una variable numérica, por lo que en cada cláusula WHEN
también debe haber 2 elementos que han de casar en tipo con aquéllos para comprobar su validez.

En Cobol la sentencia “Evaluate” es claramente la mejor forma de codificar varias condiciones. Sin embargo en
Pacbase tiene la desventaja de que toda ella ha de ir en una misma subfunción, por lo que no se pueden utilizar otras
condiciones o estructuras dentro de cada uno de los casos del “Evaluate”.

6.8. Table Indexes

IddssM Maximum number of table entries, specified by the user, for a table defined by Data Structure
dd, segment ss.
IddssL Number of entries actually loaded from segment ss in data structure dd. This number cannot
exceed the maximum specified above.
IddssR Varying from 1 to IddssL, used for all look-ups on the table loaded from data structure dd,
segment ss. Once the table is loaded, this index is initialized to zero if there is no overflow, or to
the number of records read if an overflow has occurred.

6.8.1. Definición y Utilización de Tablas de Búsqueda

Para que las variables de índice de las tablas se generen correctamente, es imprescindible definir las tablas
correctamente en la correspondiente columna de Working. Por ejemplo:
A LIN T LEVEL OR SECTION WORK AREA DESCRIPTION OCCURS
110 01 WWBB-TABLADNIS.
120 05 W-TDNI OCCURS 50. 50
130 10 TDNI-DNI PIC X(9).
130 10 TDNI-NOMBRE PIC X(30).

Es necesario tener en cuenta varias cosas:

 Los índices se generan con los 4 caracteres que se escriban en el “Occurs” entre las columnas 20 a 23 del
campo LEVEL OR SECTION (columna 28 de pantalla), es decir, las columnas 3 a 6 a partir de WORK
AREA DESCRIPTION, es decir, justo debajo de la „R‟ de WORK. En este caso sería TDNI (aun cuando el
nombre podría ser más largo, por ejemplo, W-TDNISNOMBRES), y se generan las variables de índice
ITDNIL, ITDNIR e ITDNIM.

- 24 -
  Para que se generen las variables de índice también es necesario indicar el número de elementos en la
columna OCCURS.
 Los campos de la tabla deben tener como prefijo dichos caracteres para poder utilizar posteriormente la
instrucción de búsqueda SCH de Pacbase (si no se va a utilizar dicha instrucción da igual el prefijo o
nombre que tengan).
 Las variables de índice se generan con formato S9(4) COMP. Inicialmente las dos primeras tiene en
Working VALUE 0, mientras que la tercera tiene el valor máximo de elementos de la tabla, es decir, en
este caso 50, lo que permite utilizarla para comprobar desbordamientos al recorrer la tabla.
 ITDNIL debe ser actualizada por el usuario con el número de elementos reales que se guardan en la tabla.
 ITDNIR se utiliza como índice de búsqueda y/o recorrido de la tabla. También la utiliza la instrucción SCH
de Pacbase para realizar las búsquedas en la tabla.

La instrucción SCH se utiliza de la siguiente forma:

SCH TDNI-DNI ‘10840721J’
* Si no encontrado 99IT ITDNIR > ITDNIL
...
Es decir, SCH realiza una búsqueda secuencial en la tabla, de forma que I…R apuntará a la posición de la tabla
donde se encontró el elemento buscado, y será mayor que I…L (en concreto valdrá I…L+1) si no encontró dicho
elemento en la tabla.

6.9. Relative positioning (On-line only)

(Se indica en el campo LVTY de la –P, detrás del número de nivel sin separación. Según cada caso, en el campo
CONDITION se suele indicar un campo de pantalla, un segmento, un segmento seguido de una operación, o bien
una categoría)

*A To insert the sub-function before the automatic sub-function (F20, F25, F35 and F65)
*P To insert the sub-function after the automatic sub-function (F20, F25, F30, F35, F60 and F65)
*R To replace an automatic sub-function (F20, F25, F35, F60 and F80)

Indicate the following in the CONDITION field, left justified:

 For F20, the data element code; *A, *P, *R allowed.

 For F25, F35 and F60, the segment code; *A, *P, *R allowed.
 For F30 or F65, the screen category code (no quotes), top=A, repetitive=R, bottom=Z; only *P
allowed.
 For F80, the segment code to replace all of the generated physical accesses or segment code
and access type to replace only the specified generated physical access; only *R allowed.

With Relative Positioning, the SUB-FUNCTION CODE does not have any influence on the placement of
the sub-function in the generated program. It is used only to make it unique in the libraries.

6.10. Specific Business Component

*C Insert or replace code in the server or for a logical view. It must be defined on a level 05
*B To insert in the elementary processing called by PERFORM.

7.6. Physical Access to Segments

The ‗Physical Access to segments‘ (F80) function is generated when there is at least one segment
defined for the screen.
These procedures depend on the access method to the segments in use.
The coding for these access sub-functions is illustrated with the following sample segment code CD20:
F80-CD20-R Direct read (con XR CD20 se genera un Perform a dicha etiqueta)
NOTA: se pueden generar etiquetas COBOL con la instrucción Y{ac}, siendo „ac‟ el tipo de acceso. Por
ejemplo, YR MA00 genera una etiqueta COBOL F80-MA00-R. En realidad se puede utilizar cualquier
identificador no estándar. Por ejemplo, YLL MA00 generaría la etiqueta F80-MA00-LL, o incluso YLL
LEERMA generaría F80-LEERMA-LL (y luego se llamaría con XLL LEERMA). Pero esto ya es salirse de
la nomenclatura estándar.
F80-CD20-RU Direct read with update (se llama con XRU CD20)
F80-CD20-P Positioning on and retrieval of first record of a sequential read (DL/1 operator: ‗>=‘) (es
decir, StartBr+ReadNext; se llama con XP CD20. Variable Pacbase 5-nombreexterno que vale
„0‟ si todavía no se hizo StartBr, y „0‟ en caso contrario)
NOTA: el StartBrowse que se genera incluye un GTEQ. Por tanto el IK sólo valdrá „0‟ si se alcanzó fin de
fichero, o lo que es lo mismo, además de comprobar si IK = „1‟ se debe comprobar que por ejemplo se leyó
la clave que se buscaba.
F80-CD20-RN Sequential read (se llama con XRN CD20)
F80-CD20-W Write (se llama con XW CD20)
F80-CD20-RW Rewrite (se llama con XRW CD20)
F80-CD20-D Deletion (se llama con XD CD20)
F80-CD20-UN Unlocking of record, depends on environment (se llama con XUN CD20)

7.6.1. Reemplazar los Accesos Estándar

Los accesos físicos de la función F80 se pueden reemplazar mediante el operador de nivel „*R‟. Suponiendo un
segmento llamado FA00, podemos sustituir por ejemplo los accesos estándar StartBr y ReadNext de la siguiente
forma:
F80BB N Start Browse manual 10*R FA00 P
F80BB 100 YP FA00
F80BB 110 ... (instrucciones de usuario para realizar la operación)

F80BC N Read Next manual 15*R FA00 RN

F80BC 100 YRN FA00
F80BC 110 ... (instrucciones de usuario para realizar la operación)

7.7. Claves de Acceso (K-)

Pacbase memoriza cada una de las claves de acceso a los segmentos en visualización en las variables K-cddss-
campo, donde:
c Categoría en la que se realiza el acceso („A‟=cabecera, „R‟=repetitiva, „Z‟=pie).
ddss Segmento al que se accede.
campo Campo clave de acceso.

7.7.1. Claves de Acceso en Repetitiva

Supongamos un segmento ZW15 con clave KTEM15 y acceso en repetitiva. Las variables que se generan son:
K-RZW15-KTEM15(1) Clave del primer registro a visualizar en repetitiva.
K-RZW15-KTEM15(2) Clave del primer registro a visualizar en la siguiente repetitiva (es decir, al pulsar Intro
en la repetitiva actual).

- 29 -
 Normalmente el último registro a visualizar (es decir, que se lee del fichero) se indica con „C‟ en la –CS en los
campos que marcan el final cuando difieren de la clave inicial (columna „B‟ de Break). Sin embargo, por
ejemplo un fichero temporal no tiene la clave formateada, por lo que habrá que detectar a mano el último
registro y mover a mano el valor de K-RZW15-KTEM15(2). En realidad ya se habrá leído el primer registro no
válido, por lo que habrá que ir guardando en variables auxiliares de working la clave del último registro válido,
y éste será el valor que moveremos a K-RZW15-KTEM15(2).
 Cuando un registro del fichero ya leído no cumple alguna condición y no queremos que salga en repetitiva, se
hace un GDB, que salta al principio de la siguiente iteración de repetitiva, pero sin incrementar ICATR (en otro
caso aparecería en repetitiva una línea en blanco). Pero el problema del GDB es que no actualiza correctamente
K-RZW15-KTEM15(2), ya que al hacer el GDB no se pasa por donde se actualiza dicha variable, y habrá que
hacerlo a mano cuando se termine la repetitiva.
 Si se desea volver a visualizar la repetitiva desde el primer registro (opción „I‟ en Arcelor), se mueve el valor de
la clave de inicio a K-RZW15-KTEM15(1) en F40.
 Cuando en la última repetitiva se pulsa Intro y no hay más registros a visualizar, en estándar aparece una
repetitiva vacía (en realidad esto sólo ocurre cuando se descartan registros con GDB). En Arcelor hacen que
siempre se visualice el último registro de la repetitiva anterior. Para ello, al final de la lectura de registros se
mueve la clave del último registro visualizado (no del último registro leído) a la K-RZW15-KTEM15(2) en
F60. (ver ejemplo en MSMAC5).

Estructura COBOL generada en estándar:

*NEW DISPLAY
F4010. IF OPER NOT= ‘A’ AND NOT= ‘M’ GO TO F4010-FN.
F40R.
M SPACES TO ZW15-KTEM15 (estas 2 líneas generadas a partir de la –CS)
M AUX-CLAVE TO ZW15-KTEM15
M ZW15-KTEM15 TO K-RZW15-KTEM15(1).
F40R-FN. EXIT.
F4010-FN. EXIT.

*SCREEN PAGING
F4020. IF OPER NOT= ‘S’ GO TO F4020-FN.

*SEGMENT ACCESS FOR DISPLAY

(código Pacbase generado con 10*A ZW15 R)
M ‘0’ TO ZW15-CF.
IF ZW15-FST = ‘1’ (es decir, si es el 1er acceso)
M K-RZW15-KTEM15(1) TO ZW15-KTEM15
P F80-ZW15-P THRU F80-FN (StartBr y primera lectura)
M ZERO TO ZW15-FST
ELSE
P F80-ZW15-RN THRU F80-FN. (ReadNext)
IF IK = ‘1’
M ‘Gnn9’ TO XERCD (Error automático de Fin de Lista, se puede modificar en la -G)
M ‘1’ TO FT
P F81UT THRU F81UT-FN (Memorización de errores de usuario)
GO TO F60nn-FN.

M ‘1’ TO ZW15-CF.
M ZW15-KTEM15 TO K-RZW15-KTEM15(2). (guardar clave de inicio para siguiente scroll)
(código Pacbase generado con 15*P ZW15 R)
F60nn-FN.
(código Pacbase generado con 10*P ZW15 R. OJO, como se puede ver, los 15*P sólo se ejecutan si la lectura
fue correcta, mientras que los 10*P se ejecutan siempre)

- 30 -
7.8. Control Manual de Mensajes de Fin de Lista
Cuando el fichero principal de la repetitiva accede a otro para obtener datos, si no los encuentra este segundo fichero
dará un mensaje de error Gnn9 de „FIN DE LISTA‟. Para evitarlo se puede poner en blanco este mensaje para dicho
fichero en la –G de la siguiente forma:

100 S ZW15
110 U G 9 (dejar texto mensaje en blanco o poner uno personalizado)

Otra forma de no mostrar el mensaje de Fin de Lista es alimentando la variable K50L en la F60 después de acceder
al fichero:

F60 BB N ... 10*P ZW15

F60 BB 100 M 0 K50L 99IT FT = ‘0’ OR CATX NOT= ‘R’

Por otra parte, si sólo se desea mostrar en la repetitiva los valores de una clave (es decir, existen más registros en el
fichero y por tanto no se generará el mensaje automático de fin de Lista), habrá que indicarle a Pacbase que deje de
listar cuando la clave leída no sea la que deseamos. Al hacer GFT se va a F6999-ITER-FT, con lo que el mensaje
„FIN DE LISTA‟ habrá que alimentarlo a mano en la variable „O-‟ correspondiente antes del GFT, así como
cualquier otro dato „O-‟ del pie que se quiera mostrar (por ejemplo, en F71, ya que F70 está ocupada con el
procesamiento de errores).

En este mismo caso otra idea sería hacer GDB en vez de GFT y dejarlo seguir leyendo hasta el final del fichero para
que diera el mensaje de Fin de Lista en automático, pero no tiene sentido si tenemos en cuenta que el fichero puede
tener miles o millones de registros. Pero una idea sería alimentar la clave con HIGH-VALUES y hacer GDB (habría
que ver qué es lo más adecuado en cada caso).

synchronized on input for all records having the same key at level n.
'1'- YES '0'- NO
ITBn Initial total control break at level n. (RTPn en francés). Processing is starting on all data structures
synchronized on input for all records having the same key at level n.
'1'- YES '0'- NO
dd-FBn Final control break on data structure dd at level n. (dd-DEn en francés). The last record, at level n,
on data structure dd, is ready for processing. (se agrupan en la variable dd-FB)
'1'- YES '0'- NO
dd-IBn Initial control break on data structure dd, level n. (dd-PEn en francés). The first record, at level n,
on data structure dd, is ready for processing. (se agrupan en la variable dd-IB)
'1'- YES '0'- NO
dd-CFn File configuration at level n. (la variable dd-CF agrupa a todas las dd-CFn)
'1' - File match: process in this iteration
'0' - Bypass file in this iteration
dd-OCn Occurrence on Data Structure dd at level n. A record on Data Structure dd with usage "P" is
being processed in this program cycle.
'1'- YES '0'- NO
dd-FT Input data structure dd has detected end-of- file.
'1'- YES '0'- NO
FT Group item containing all dd-FT‘s. End of program when all ‗1‘s. All data structures are at end-
of-file and the program should stop at F20.
dd-FI Control break processing only.
'1' - File I/O area contains last record of file
'0' - File I/O area does not contain last record of file
CATX The report category (if a report is to be printed) which is currently being processed.

8.2. Validation Processing (Work areas and variables)

DE-ERR Stores the presence status of each data element of the transaction being processed.
Each elementary data element (eeeeee), other than FILLER, ENPR, GRPR, ERUT and their
sub-elements, is provided with a status field within the table. This field is named ER-ss-
eeeeee (ss = SEGMENT CODE).
The values vary at different points in the processing cycle:
‗0‘ data element absent
‗1‘ data element present
‗2‘ invalid absence of data element
‗3‘ invalid presence of data element
‗4‘ erroneous class
‗5‘ invalid content
ID-ER The last field in the table DE-ERR is ID-ER and is used for storing the record identification
status:
‗0‘ record type and action code are valid values (no error)
‗5‘ error detected on record type (record type error)
‗6‘ error detected on action code (transaction type error)
DEL-ER Stores the presence status of the data element being processed.
Generated if the program contains a transaction file (to be validated or not).
ER-PRR Used only to carry out transfers between DE- ERR and a data structure (USAGE OF D.S. =
M, N or E) with a reduced error array.
SE-ERR Stores the presence status of each transaction file record type.
Generated if the program contains a transaction file (to be validated or not). Each record
type is provided with a status field within this table. This field is named SE-ER(I01).
The values vary at different points in the processing cycle:
‗0‘ record absent (valid record absence)
‗1‘ record present (valid record presence)
‗2‘ invalid absence of record (required record missing)
‗3‘ invalid presence of record (invalid record presence)

- 35 -
 ‗7‘ duplicate record
‗8‘ invalid creation (master record already exists)
‗9‘ invalid modification or deletion (master record not found)
TR-ER The last field in the table SE-ERR is named TR-ER and is used for storing errors detected at
the transaction level:
‗1‘ no error detected
>‗1‘ an error is detected (specific error on a transaction record)
SE-ERE Stores the presence status of the record being processed.
GR-ER Stores information concerning errors detected on a group of transactions which update a
record, of at least one principal data structure.
UT-ERUT Stores the user's errors. Contain the status of each user validation in a one-byte field.
‗0‘ no error
‗1‘ error detected

8.3. Record Counters

5-dd00-RECCNT Record counter for file dd. It is incremented after each read or write. (5-dd00-
CPTENR en francés. Tiene formato PIC S9(9) COMP-3 y sale bien en los displays)

8.4. Tables used for Reports

CAT-TAB Category table: stores all categories to be printed in this iteration.
ST-TA Table storing the structure number, constant part number, and page/line skip for the
category to be printed.
r-LAB Table containing constants for report r.

8.5. Print variables and Counters

ST-SLS Stores the structure number, constant part number, skip to be executed before writing a
line and char. set. option (special printer).
CATX Stores the category of report being printed.
5-dd00-rPC Page counter for report r in data structure dd initially set to zero. (5-dd00-rCP en francés).
Automatically handled by VisualAge Pacbase.
5-dd00-rLC Line Counter. (5-dd00-rCL en francés). Initially set equal to the maximum number of lines
for report r to allow for a new heading situation. Automatically handled by VisualAge
Pacbase.
5-dd00-rLCM Maximum number of lines per page for report r. (5-dd00-rCLM en francés).
5-dd00-rLC1 Line counter for Report r from Data Structure dd, incremented at each output line and
indicating the line number of the last written line. (5-dd00-rCL1 en francés).
5-dd00-rTP Start of Page indicator for Report r from Data Structure dd.
5-dd00-rRC Counter for number of lines written for the report r. Incremented after writing.
5-cc-NL Nº de líneas de cabecera, detalle o pie, siendo „cc‟ la categoría de cabecera, detalle o pie.

8.6. Automated Totaling Fields

(based on control breaks and requested totaling)

Trst-eeeeee(n) Intermediate total accumulator at level n (J05, J06, J07), for data element eeeeee of
structure st in report r.
Grst-eeeeee Grand total accumulator, for data element eeeeee of structure st in report r.

8.7. Printing Index

Jddrcc Index associated with repetitive category cc for Report r on Data Structure dd. Contains, at
structure load time, the rank of the category cc being printed.

8.8. Validation Index

I01 Index that contains the rank of the record type being processed.
