Source statement selection

The following figure is displayed when you use the EX (EXtract layout) line command to extract a layout from source or File-AID/Data Solutions cannot compile your record layout with the default source options. It contains two Record layout selection areas and a Compiler options area.

Record layout extraction is done by Character String or Source Statement line number allowing you to precisely identify your source. In most cases, the starting data-name field provided with each layout member is sufficient information for File-AID/Data Solutions to extract a layout from a program or source member containing multiple layouts.

Important

For CA Panvalet and CA Librarian source layout members, do not use line numbers to extract a layout.

If File-AID/Data Solutions cannot determine the language, or if compilation fails, it displays this screen enabling you to change source or compile options. When File-AID/Data Solutions displays this screen because it cannot compile your record layout with the default source options, use the Source Statement Selection screen to specify the correct compiler options.

Ending string

(Optional) Specify a string from the last statement.

Record layout selection by Source Statement line number:

Beginning number

Specify the beginning statement number.

Ending number
