DICTOBL Fields
•
EDIT-PIC-TEXT
−
the text ID of the OTF record containing the edit picture value.
•
TACL-TYPE
−
contains a 2-character ASCII code identifying the high-level TACL
data type associated with the element. Valid values for this field are:
If this field is left blank, the item does not have a high-level TACL data type.
•
SOURCE-DEF
−
the object number of the referenced definition when this element is
described by TYPE def-name or TYPE *.
SOURCE-DEF is an alternate key into the OBL. DDL uses this key to determine
whether a definition is referred to by any other record or definition and to find the
name of the referenced definition. SOURCE-DEF is set to 0 for all elements not
defined with a TYPE clause.
If the referenced definition itself contains more than one element, these elements
are copied into the current object's build list. SOURCE-DEF keeps only one level of
reference, as illustrated in the following example.
DEF date.
02 year PIC 99.
02 month PIC 99.
02 day PIC 99.
END
DEF ord-header.
02 order-date TYPE date.
END
DEF order.
02 header TYPE ord-header.
If the object number of DATE is 1, the SOURCE-DEF value for the element
ORDER-DATE is 1, referring to the object DATE. If the object number of ORD-
HEADER is 2, the SOURCE-DEF value for header is 2, referring to the element
