OPTION

DESCRIPTION

Relationship Information (I)

Displays the Relationship Information window.

Exclude Relationships (X)

Excludes the relationship on which the cursor is positioned. When you exclude a relationship, other relationships might also be excluded as a result. This occurs when you exclude a relationship and either of the objecs in the excluded relationship is a parent or dependent in another relationship that cannot be linked back to the driving object in any other way.

Undo Excluded Relationships (U)

Selects this previously excluded relationship to be included in the extract.

Go to expanded view of dependents


Scrolls the display such that the first occurrence of the selected object is positioned at the top of the display. The first occurrence of a given object in the Graphical Relationship Display has a detailed display of its dependents (if it has any). Subsequent occurrences of a given object do not repeat dependent detail.

In Graphical Relationship Display with Option List, for example, if the cursor was positioned on the occurrence of ’TSOID01.FRSAMP.SUPPLIER’ under
’TSOID01.FRSAMP.PARTTABL’, selecting Go to expanded view of dependents would position the cursor on the first occurrence of ’TSOID01.FRSAMP.SUPPLIER’
The first occurrence of ’TSOID01.FRSAMP.SUPPLIER’ under DB2-PART_TABLE would display ’TSOID01.FRSAMP.SUPPLIER’s dependents if it had any.

Go to dependent of objectname




Scrolls the display such that the occurrence of the selected object that is a dependent of objectname is at the top of the display. Use this option to determine where the object is a dependent in other relationships.

For example, if the cursor was positioned on the first occurrence of ’TSOID01.FRSAMP.ORDERLIN’ when you pressed ENTER, the following entry would be displayed:

Go to dependent of MVS-'TSOID01.FRSAMP.ORDERTAB'Selecting this entry would position the occurrence of
’TSOID01.FRSAMP.ORDERLIN’ under
’TSOID01.FRSAMP.ORDERTAB’ at the top of the display. If ’TSOID01.FRSAMP.ORDERLIN’ had additional parents, there would be an entry on the Option List for each parent.
