Window contents

This section describes the columns and fields listed in the Work with Process IDs area as shown below:

The upper part of the window contains a list of process identifiers, which is continuously updated according to the functions performed. Below the list is a group of objects that map to all the fields of the selected element.

The following describes the general fields listed in the Work with Process IDs area:

Field	Description
Process identifier	Identifier of process. This field uniquely identifies the element and cannot be changed.
Access type	Access type to be used: Direct access to database, output in DSNTIAUL format. Direct access to database, output in UNLOAD format. Access to sequential unload in DSNTIAUL format. Access to sequential unload in UNLOAD format. Access to sequential unload in UNLOAD by REORG format. Access to data set of full image-copy, output in DSNTIAUL format. Access to data set of full image-copy, output in UNLOAD format. Access to CA variable sequential unload, output in DSNTIAUL format. Access to CA comma delimited sequential unload, output in DSNTIAUL format. Access to CA external sequential unload, output in DSNTIAUL format. Access to CA fixed sequential unload, output in DSNTIAUL format.
Record format	Format of the record (FB for fixed length format, VB for variable length format).
Description	Description of the process identifier.
I/O program name	I/O routine called for the reading of the database.

The following describes the general fields listed in the DL/I Attributes section of the Work with Process IDs area:

Field	Description
Record Length	Length of sequential unload (record).
Data Position	Position of the data area within the sequential unload that contains the information described in the copybook.
Record type position	Position of the data area within the sequential unload that contains the segment name.
Record type length	Length of the data area within the sequential unload that contains the segment name.
Type	Type of length value.
Position	Position of length value.
Length	Length of length value.

Note: The Data Length File Attributes fields provide information regarding the area, if one exists, of the sequential unload that contains the length of the data area. If values are not specified, the message “There is not enough information in the process identifier to retrieve the segment record lengths” is reported, and Data Express assumes the data area has the maximum available length (to the end of the physical layout).
