The organization application scenario shows how to display a list of departments within an organization and the structure of one of these departments.

About this task

This application is executed in Phase 4 for IMS and Phase 5 for CICS®.

Procedure

To display a list of departments and the structure of one of the departments:

After you enter the appropriate transaction code, you see the first panel of the project application. Enter the following values:

On the MAJOR SYSTEM, enter O for organization.
On the ACTION line, enter D for display.
On the OBJECT line, enter DS for department structure.
On the SEARCH CRITERIA line, enter DI for department number.
On the DATA line, enter %, which enables you to display a list of all the departments.

Each department entry is numbered on the far left side of the panel as shown in the figure below.

To retrieve further information, specify a line number as a data value. This method is called secondary selection. Secondary selection provides prompts to aid in finding the information to be displayed, added, erased, or updated. If only one entry possibility exists, secondary selection is not offered.
For example, to view the structure of Department E01, specify a data value of 7 on the DATA entry line (7 is the line number of the entry for Department E01). The result of entering the data value of 7 is a display of Department E01 and its departments as shown in the figure below. The department manager for E01 is listed on the left, and the departments of E01 are listed on the right. Employees of E01 are listed below the subdepartments of E01.
