Defining unformatted XREF criteria


Upon return from the Formatted XREF Definition to the Define XREF screen (see the following figure), notice that the full member name, ORDERPO, has been filled in by File-AID on line 1, along with the 01 level structure name ORDER-LINE-DATA-PO, and a status indicator of BASE.

As described earlier, the ORDERSC layout defines all records with ORDER-TYPE equal to "SC". Since you now know that the ORDER-TYPE field is located at position 11, you use the SU line command to invoke Unformatted XREF criteria to define the condition for using the ORDERSC layout.

Define XREF Screen (SU Command). Selecting Unformatted Criteria.

  2. Type ORDERSC in the Member name column on the second line.
  3. Press Enter. File-AID displays the Unformatted XREF Definition screen, as illustrated in Unformatted XREF Definition Screen. Specifying the Layout Selection Condition.
