Chapter 3-7: Output Processes

Output Frame Toolbox Option

The toolbox overlay appears on the screen when you invoke the toolbox option from the Output Frames overlay. The Output Frames Toolbox overlay contains a number of features such as Documentation Management and Security Management that will assist you when designing and invoking an output process. The options listed in the Toolbox overlay are described briefly below. See Chapter 3-3, Process Definition for a more detailed explanation of the options listed on the Toolbox overlay.

Database Management Option

The database management option allows you to add new files or maintain existing ones without leaving output process design.

Process Management Option

The process management option allows you to add other types of processes or maintain existing ones without leaving process design for output processes.

Design Transfer Option

The design transfer option allows you to copy the attributes from a process that you have already designed and apply it to a new process.

Gen Col Hdgs Option

The gen col hdgs option automatically generates a column heading frame for the frame you are currently positioned on.

Syntax Check Option

This feature allows you to create the Executable Module for the current output process without actually running it. If the Executable Module for the output process is valid this option is ignored when invoked. Note that this option (option 97), like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.

View Audit Info

This feature allows you to see who created the currently selected output process and who changed it most recently. It also gives the date of creation and the date it was last changed. Note that this option (option 98), like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.

Invoke a Process

This feature is available to facilitate testing. It allows you to invoke any process; the currently selected output process using the Test Database defined in system administration is the default. Note that this option (option 99), like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.
