Dynamics View for Report Functions |
DEVELOPER |
 |
In this view you can see all the cycles in the function with different coloured boxes making the nested structure of the cycles clear. Within each cycle, all the objects that have a dynamic effect on the PROIV Timing Cycle are displayed.
The Object column displays the tag name for each object and the Object Type icons. For each cycle, the possible modes - A(dd), I(nsert), C(hange), L(ookup), D(elete) – are listed, with the permitted modes shown in bold, and the default mode in bold red.
Where appropriate, the variable providing the data for an object is shown in the Data Source column. Row, Col, Height and Width columns show the location and size of the object. Where Row and Col do not indicate an absolute position (in paging screen cycles), a check box in the A column is used to indicate where an absolute position is required.
If there is a window associated with the field, the tag name of the window (for local windows) or the function name (for global windows) is shown in the final column.
Each object shown in the Dynamics View has a corresponding select box at the far left of the screen. These are used to select objects when building a clipboard fragment.
