Micro-pattern appel d'artefact COPYBOOK

Bonjour,

Avec la version 9.1.1 de RPP est apparu l'artefact "COPYBOOK" (qui est l'instanciation d'une commande GCD Pacbase).

Dans un monde purement Pacbase, les COPYBOOK g?n?r?s par GCD ne pr?sentaient pas d'int?r?t pour le d?veloppement de programmes Pacbase.

Dans le monde RPP, et en particulier avec une mixit? RPP SDK Cobol, il peut y avoir un int?r?t ? utiliser l'artefact COPYBOOK dans des programmes "Pacbase" :
- utilisation des m?mes descriptions de donn?es en "Cobol Pacbase" et en "Cobol SDK".
- diminution de la d?pendance du code des programmes vis ? vis du g?n?rateur (facilit? de d?sengagement).

Il nous semble donc utile de proposer un micro-pattern permettant de r?f?rencer un artefact COPYBOOK dans un programme "Cobol Pacbase" comme dans un programme "Cobol SDK".
Ce micro-pattern g?n?rera la commande Cobol "COPY" s'il s'agit d'une g?n?ration de COPYBOOK Cobol ou g?n?rera la commande SQL "INCLUDE" s'il s'agit d'une g?n?ration de COPYBOOK SQL.
Un chainage entre le programme et l'artefact COPYBOOK devra ?tre g?r? (avec d?tection des d?phasages).

A noter que le code Cobol g?n?r? par un appel de Segment dans un programme "Cobol Pacbase" (micro-pattern WF) n'est pas toujours identique au code Cobol g?n?r? par une commande GCD, en particulier lorsque la g?n?ration d'un appel de Segment est contextuelle et li?e ? l'appel d'autres Segments (partie commune, g?n?ration multi-structures de longueurs fixes...).

Note : l'entit? Copybook de la facette Pacbase devrait en fait s'intituler "DataCopybook" pour ?viter toute confusion sur sa finalit? et l'entit? "Copybook" de la facette Cobol qui a priori peut repr?senter du code proc?dural.

Cordialement,

Denis FALLAI

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because it does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time.

    This request lacks sufficient information for us to evaluate it. It might not be considered further until it has been revised and clarified. We suggest to schedule a dicussion with you about it.
