About this task
The data element table is created by parsing a program
and its copybooks or include files. Parsing includes real-time syntax
checking of the program, and included and found copybooks and include
files. The data element table can contain the following information
about each data item.
- Data item name
- Declared level
- Top-level structure name
- Declaration data
- Declaration location
- Declaration line number
- Number of references to the data item
- Item type
- Initial value
- Full declaration
If the data element table is open and you make another request
to open it, the new contents replace the current data in the view.
The
Data Elements view cannot be opened from
a copybook or include file.
