This panel displays all items, specified in the Edit conversion set and Edit specification programs, to be executed for the conversion. The order of the items is determined by the conversion sequence, defined in the Edit specification program. You can remove items from the list if you do not want them to be executed this time. However, they will not be removed from the conversion specification, which means next time you run this conversion set or specification, all items will be included. To remove an item permanently, use the Edit conversion set and/or Edit specification program.
If an item is not found, it is displayed in reverse image, a message is displayed at the bottom of the panel. If the item function is *RUNBEFSET, *RUNBEFCNV, *RUNAFTCNV or *RUNAFTSET the cause might be that the programs defined to be executed before/after converting data are not in the library list.
You can press Enter to submit the running of the conversion items to batch.
- Opt
- Enter 4 next to an item to remove it. This means the item will not be executed this time. However, the item will not be removed from the conversion set or specification, which means next time you run this conversion set or specification, all items will be included.
- Item name
- Displays the item name, defined in the Edit conversion set and Edit specification programs.
- Function
- Displays the function.
Function Description *RUNBEFSET The program entered in the Pgm to run before field on the Edit conversion set (CVTD1021) panel. This program will always be executed before any specifications belonging to the conversion set. *RUNBEFCNV The program entered in the Pgm to run before field on the Edit specification (CVTD3021) panel. This program will be executed before the data conversion for the associated specification. *CLRBEFCVN The target file entered in the Target file, Target file library and Target file member fields on the Edit specification (CVTD3021) panel will be cleared. This function will be executed before the data conversion for the associated specification. *CHGPFSIZE The target file entered in the Target file, Target file library and Target file member fields on the Edit specification (CVTD3021) panel will change is size. This function will be executed before the data conversion for the associated specification. *PRELOAD The specification will be preloaded. This function will be executed before the data conversion for the associated specification. *RUNSPEC The data conversion for the specification will be executed using the Data Conversion Tool. *RUNBSKPGM The data conversion for the specification will be executed using the program entered in the Bespoke program field on the Edit specification (CVTD3021) panel. *RUNAFTCNV The program entered in the Pgm to run after field on the Edit specification (CVTD3021) panel. This program will be executed after the data conversion for the associated specification. *RUNAFTSET The program entered in the Pgm to run after field on the Edit conversion set (CVTD1021) panel. This program will always be executed after any specifications belonging to the conversion set.
- Seq
- Displays the sequence number defined in the Edit specification program. The sequence number determines the order in which the items will be executed. Item function *RUNBEFSET has sequence number 1 because this program will always be executed first. The item function *RUNAFTSET has a sequence number 999 since that program always is executed last.
The item types *RUNBEFCNV and *RUNAFTCNV will have the same sequence number as the associated specification.
- Subset
- Displays the subset, from the Subset table, to which the item belongs.
- Description
- Displays a description for the Item name and/or Function fields.
