Rational Programming Patterns : REFER generation option in Dialog and Screen entities

REFER / REF generation option entered in dialog complement tab or in - GO lines of a screen's -G lines tab do not generate "the LIST OF
REFERENCED ENTITIES" in the Cobol program's Working Storage Section.

If this "LIST OF REFERENCED ENTITIES' is already in the Pacbase Cobol (Pacbase migrated program), and if there are new data elements call in screen -CE, then these data elements are ignored, they are missing in this list generated by REFER generation option.

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because the REFER option is not integrated in RPP and will not be developed in a future release. There are other functionalities in the product to get a list of referenced entities.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
