Assignment
Transaction templates.
Use
Generation of instructions at the end of the TRANSACTION section.
Click below for more information on generating management rules in programs (generation paragraph, and the generation point within the paragraph):
Substitution principles
The management rule text variables $$Id are replaced by the number of the current transaction.
The management rule text variables $(+n) or $(+nn) are replaced by the number of the current transaction plus n (or nn).
The management rule text variables $(-n) or $(-nn) are replaced by the number of the current transaction minus n (or nn).
The management rule text variables $TransactionTemplate are replaced by the number of the first transaction having this TransactionTemplate. The number is searched for in the successive transactions, starting from the transaction following the current one, and looping back to the beginning once the last transaction has been reached (if current transaction is #2 and the last transaction is #4, then #3, #4, #1, #2 are checked).
Examples
Example 1: Program exit test
1. Specification of the management rule:
IF W_RETURN_CODE = *BLANK
PROCESS $(-1)
ELSE
TERMINATE
END
2. Result in the program:
TRANSACTION 02
BEGIN_STD_E
IF W_RETURN_CODE = *BLANK
PROCESS 01
ELSE
TERMINATE
END
END_STD
Example 2: Test whether a confirm delete screen is to be displayed
1. Specification of the management rule:
IF *DEL04 > 0
WRAN04 =1
PROCESS $CONFIRM_DELETE
END
2. Result in the program:
TRANSACTION 01
...
BEGIN_STD_E
IF *DEL04 > 0
WRAN04 =1
PROCESS 02
END
END_STD
The first transaction being associated with a CONFIRM_DELETE transaction template is transaction 02.
