This panel displays an overview of the Business Objects (procedures, modules and service programs) that are used in DC1.
Procedures, which are similar to black box programs, are operations that perform certain tasks and can return values to the caller. Modules are a collection of procedures that usually perform similar or related tasks and Service programs bundle everything together. This modularisation of code simplifies RPG development by eliminating duplicate code and allowing externalisation of the logic. For a more detailed overview of DC1 Business Objects, see the following guides:
- DC1 Business Objects Technical Guide available on the Iptor Intranet
- ILE RPG Reference Guide which can be found at the following address: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/books/c092508302.htm#ToC
Per module you can do the following:
- view the procedures that have been imported from other modules,
- view the procedures that have been exported into other modules,
- drill down to see where these procedures are used.
