Controlling the Use of ADDERR and CHGERR
Parameters
118 • SDM-DESIGNTRACKER 5.0 USER GUIDE
The ADDERR parameter on the Create Design Request command (DTCRTDR) and
the CHGERR parameter on Change Design Request command (DTCHGDR) allow
you to create or change the design request even if errors in the editing process are
encountered.
If this is required, the data area DTAPIERR must be changed to the value *ALLOW.
The default value of this data area is *NOALLOW which disregards the specification
on the commands.
You must have authority to change the data area in the product library to control this
feature.
Creating Design Request and Approval Records
Any created design request must have at least one approval record associated with it.
Therefore, when the Create Design Request command (DTCRTDR) creates a new
design request, it also writes an approval record pending approval status with the user
ID of the person creating the design request. The design request itself is then in
approval pending status. The approval status of the design request can be changed
through the Approve Design Request command interface (DTAPRDR) or the panel
interface.
Retrieving the Design Request Number
When the Create Design Request command (DTCRTDR) is used from a command
line, the number of the newly created design requests displays as a message to you.
When this command is used within a program, this message must be received from
the program message queue after the command is issued and the design request
number extracted from the message data field.
To illustrate this:
/* THE DR HAS BEEN CREATED OK; THE NUMBER OF THE DESIGN REQUEST */
/* CREATED IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE MSGDTA OF THE MSG VDT3000. */
RECV: RCVMSG MSGQ(*PGMQ) MSGTYPE(*LAST) RMV(*NO) +
MSGDTA(&MSGDTA) MSGID(&MSGID)
/* DR# MESSAGE FOUND; EXTRACT THE NUMBER ASSIGNED AND RETURN IT */
IF (&MSGID *EQ 'VDT3000') THEN(DO)
CHGVAR &DRNUMBER %SST(&MSGDTA 5 5)
