Generating the Segment Cross-Reference
Select Global Updates & Purges (G41311), Segment Cross Reference Generation.
You can use the Segment Cross Reference Generation (R41045) program to create cross-reference records for segmented items. Do this when you want to associate a segmented item with its segmented substitute item. You can cross-reference and substitute by any of the items' attributes or characteristics that have been set up as segments.
You must specify in the processing options the cross-reference type and the segment number to cross-reference. The system generates the cross-reference records based on the value in the segment that is used to cross-reference items in the data selection.
Note: You can generate a segment
cross-reference based only on one item at a time. If you want to further limit the
number of cross-reference records, use the data selection.Do not use this
program to cross-reference nonsegmented items. Instead, you must enter
cross-reference records for nonsegmented items in the Item Cross Reference (P4104)
program.
