DDBuilder: Editing Typedef Rules (Superseded)
DDBuilder has been superseded by the BASIS DBMS Data Dictionary module accessible from the BASIS IDE or the Enterprise Manager. Recommended for usage with ODBC/JDBC access to PRO/5, Visual PRO/5, BBj application data. DDBuilder is no longer included in the BBj download package as of version 12.0 but can be downloaded with Visual PRO/5.
Once typedef rules have been selected, they can be customized without affecting the general rules definitions, as follows:
-
In the tree view, select the desired typedef to display the GeneralTypedef properties page.
-
Click the Edit Validation tab to display the Edit Validation properties page.
-
The Current rules field displays all defined rules that have been selected for this column. Click a rule to select it and display the default values in the Error message, Error procedure, and Success procedure fields.
-
Edit the values in the Error message, Error procedure, and Success procedure fields, to customize the rules for the selected typedef:
-
In the Error message field, define the error message text that will appear when user activity causes the rule to generate a false or zero result.
-
In the Error procedure field, define the routine to be executed when the rule process generates a false or zero result.
-
In the Success procedure field, define the routine to be executed when the rule generates a true or non-zero result.
