Dependency Analysis Commands

When importing Production Reporting job, the system can analyze your Production Reporting program for dependencies. The analysis occurs if you request the system to scan for required files and INPUT and ASK parameters. Analysis can be time-consuming if your Production Reporting program is large.

The system examines these commands in your Production Reporting program:

INCLUDE—Includes an external source file in the Production Reporting report specification; for example, a Production Reporting code file, charts.sqi, required by stocks.sqr when it compiles
OPEN—Opens an operating system file for reading or writing; for example, an OPEN statement that opens a file for sequential reading the data in the file, which is identified to the program as 1:
open 'stocks.dat'as 1 for-reading record=100

DECLARE-IMAGE—Declares the type, size, and source of an image to be printed; for example:

   declare-image control flow
      type = eps-file
      source = 'controlf.eps'
      image-size = (321, 309)
   end-declare

PRINT-IMAGE—Prints an image in any report section (As with the declare-image command, the print-image command accepts type, size, and source arguments.)
ASK—Retrieves a compile-time substitution variable (Retrieval can be by user input, command-line arguments, or entries in the @file on the command line.)
INPUT—Retrieves a runtime variable (Retrieval can receive by user input, command-line arguments, or entries in the @file on the command line.)
PRINT URL=”...”—Prints the file found at the URL location, usually an image file (The file is listed with the required files for the job.)
SECURE—Retrieves the secure tag
