DB Fields Selection

DB Fields Selection

Note that these options are not always implemented. For example if your are planning a markup language (i.e. HTML) there is no sense to activate them.

In this panel you can use checkboxes to select the fields that you want to handle in your program, creating about all the necessary code you require for them. You can access to this panel only if you have correctly downloaded a Cobol standard DCLGEN from the DB panel. Enter this panel with "W" button to select Where Fields, or "S" button for extraction fields.

  • Tree Structure: Using the DCLGEN you've provided, this tree will translate the data to a Tree Structure that contain the fields to select. Click upon checkboxes to enable them. If you click the first (father) of the tree, you select everything below.
  • Load Previous Selection: Load the previous selection for this DB access.
  • Detail Box: This Box comprehend a set of informations about the last field you have selected into the Tree. You will see the name of the field, the DB Type (Warning: If the type is "Unknown", Builder's Heaven will handle it as a char), the Null flag, and the index inside the list...
  • Struct Name: This is an editable field; Builder's Heaven auto fills the box reading Dclgen.
  • Field Prefix: This is an editable field; Builder's Heaven auto fills the box reading the "metadata" at the top of the DCLGEN. With this field you can handle this difference between DB columns and the corresponding Cobol version.

To complete selection press OK.
