The upper area of the screen lists the DDM Declaration files and their validation
status. The metadata source and location are also listed.
The Validation tab at the lower area of the screen displays information about what
needs to be resolved in order to validate the tables and fields generated from the
COBOL. The Log tab displays a log of what has been performed (such as renaming a
table or specifying a data location).
The following operations are available in the Import Manipulation screen:
Resolving table names, where tables with the same name are generated from
■
different files during the import.
Selecting the physical location for the data.
■
Selecting table attributes.
■
Manipulating the fields generated from the COBOL, as follows:
■
– Merging sequential fields into one (for simple fields).
– Resolving variants by either marking a selector field or specifying that only
one case of the variant is relevant.
– Adding, deleting, hiding, or renaming fields.
– Changing a data type.
– Setting the field size and scale.
– Changing the order of the fields.
