The SB+ internals document was indeed distributed by IBM a couple of years ago a resource disk. I'm not sure if we're free to share that information, but I'm sure there are several who have the document.

I'm not aware of any documentation, per se, but here are a few notes to help you locate the information you may need. Normally, I wouldn't recommend modifying a process outside of the corresponding tool, but there have been times it's been useful to find, for example, a process associated with a particular file, and selecting the right field in xxPROCESS is helpful. The xxPROCESS file uses Attribute 1 as a Type field (e.g., P for Paragraph, I for Input Process, etc.) The contents of the other fields vary depending on the type. You also have items defined in xxDEFN, including /ARD reports, Code Tables, Dialog Boxes, etc. Again, the first attribute defines the type of record and the rest of the fields will vary depending on this type. Screen and Report Writer Definitions are stored in the corresponding Dictionary files with Attribute 1 being SCREEN or REPORT, respectively. Again, the fields are used differently depending on the item in question. These also have auxillary entries (e.g., SCREEN.TXT, SCREEN.GUI, REPORT.TXT) that contain the non-derived portions of the screen or report. Within the various maintenance tools, you can usually choose F10-Action, then Print to get a 132-column report of the contents. This works for field, screen, and report definitions (/FD, /SD, /RD) as well as the various Process Definitions (/PD). You can compare the output of these reports to the actual data stored in the appropriate file to review the corresponding structure. Hope this is of some help. --Tom Pellitieri Toledo, Ohio ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
