MIAM - User input

You must enter a * line with the following format:
Pos. Len. Value Meaning
2 1 * Line code
3 8 uuuuuuuu User code
11 8 pppppppp User password
19 3   Extraction Library code
    *** All Libraries
    bbb bbb Library
22 4 nnnn Session number (blank = current session)
26 1   Session status
    T If selection of frozen session
    blank If selection of current or H session

This processing recognizes the parameter file hlq.SBVPINST(BVPAMIAM), which is provided upon installation.

It has the following structure:
Pos. Len. Value Meaning
1 2 BL Type of block not retrieved
    CS Special character
    MT Forced retrieval of Meta Entity. See note 1. after the table.
PF Indicates whether to retrieve the Programs or Screens that contain PAF operators. By default, they are retrieved. Add a PF line with the value NO in position 3 not to retrieve them.
    UR Recognized Data Element usage
VO Authorized types of COBOL to generate for Screens. See note 2. after the table.
VP Authorized types of COBOL to generate for Programs. See note 2. after the table.
VS Authorized types of COBOL to generate for C/S entities. See note 2. after the table.
    WK Type of working line not to retrieve
WN String not allowed (not compatible with Windows for example)
3 78   Value of the parameter

This file contains the standard parameters that are provided at installation to allow the procedure to complete the necessary checks.

In this file, you can add special characters to be searched for. To do so, add a CS-type line with the character to be searched for.

Additional notes on the table:
  1. The MT parameter is used to force the retrieval of Meta Entities with a code 7N (Endevor), 7M (Environment), or 5Q (Quality) and the retrieval of Pacdesign Meta Entities (use the DS value). Only these four values on 2 characters are recognized.
  2. By default, the following values of the COBOL types to generate are authorized:
    • VO: NX013O456M7U8FIKQZ
    • VP: N013458FIKOUXQZC
    • VS: NX03457OU8FIRQ
    You can replace them with the values that are indicated in each parameter. You must indicate all the COBOL types to be recognized in each parameter.
    If several lines exist for the same type, only the last line is recognized.
    Note: It is not necessary to sort the parameter file. Any unknown value is ignored. Parameters can be removed.
