BC – Base Components

The Base Component table defines the relationships between Component Types (as defined in the M.CT table) and Component Categories (as defined in the M.CC table). A Base Component table can be selected from the M.R screen (Base Components).

As an example, the Type ASM (Assembler) and the Type COB (COBOL) shown in Base Component Screen could both be associated with a Component Category of PGM (Program).

Input Fields

The following table describes each input field for a Base Component table entry:

Field Descriptions

Field Name	Description
Component Type	An ISPW type, as defined in table M.CT, for example COB.
Description	A brief description of the type.
Category	Defines a high level generic group of Component Types that share similar attributes as defined in table M.CC, for example PGM.
Language	The Language entry defines the programming language used by the associated Component Type. For example, Type COB and Type COPY could both use a programming language of COB (COBOL).
Scanner	The Scanner entry defines the name of the program used to parse the source code for the associated Base Component Type.
User Exit	Defines any user-defined exit that is invoked by the parser.
