Once the Parsing and Analysis stages of conversion are
completed, you can use this page to view/inspect the new data-structures
(translated from COBOL FD).
Save
All Button This saves the
structure of all the records listed in the Records List box for future use. Saving
your works can have significant performance improvements to subsequent programs
utilizing same FDs. See SAVING Generated
Models of the Record Structures. Where the FD
description has been taken from the saved files (instead of re-Parsing
&re-Analysis) the record may not be displayed in the record list box
in this page. Note - Saving
applies only to FDs where the FD description is supplied within a
self-contained include file. (i.e. the COBOL modules utilizing the file will
contain
FILE-CONTROL.
COPY
"SALES.FD" within them).
When the FD is defined within the Cobol module, the system is forced to parse
& process definitions provided within that module.
Export SQL DDL Button
Re-generates the
new record data structures in SQL Data Definition Language. The export files
can then be used to build a database using Oracle, Sybase, MS Access, MS SQL
Server, or any other SQL compliant database. See you database guide on how to
build tables using SQL DDL files. You may also import the files into any CASE
tools - such as S-Designer or ER-WIN.
FD Wrapper Button
Creates
FD Object Wrappers for All the records in the records list box.
This tree contains a list of translated File Definitions. Also
note that since SQL tables do not support multi-dimensional arrays, separate
tables will be created for the multi-dimensional fields. If an original FD has
such fields it will have sub-nodes representing these additional tables.The following is a guide to the icons displayed in the
Fields and Index Fields list boxes: |
