This section describes the supplied programs, subprograms, and helproutines that help simplify and standardize the model creation process. These utilities can be invoked by the supplied models or by user-written models.
Note:
The source code for external objects is not supplied.
This section covers the following topics:
All model subprograms use external parameter data areas (PDAs) stored in the SYSCST library. The source for the PDAs is provided and contains details about each parameter. For example, some of the listings for the CPAEL PDA are:
Parameter CPAEL Library SAG DBID 18 FNR 4

----------------------------------------------------------------- S 70 L 1 |
CPAEL contains a level 1 structure called CPAEL. Depending on the type of parameter, the remaining parameters are grouped into the following structures: INPUTS, INPUT-OUTPUTS, and OUTPUTS. This layout is the same for all PDAs used by the supplied subprograms.
Note:
Be careful when modifying fields in the INPUT-OUTPUTS structure;
these fields may retain information across multiple calls.
You can define the PDAs as local data areas (LDAs) within the model subprograms that invoke the utilities. CPAEL is the PDA corresponding to the CPUEL subprogram utility, which returns information about a field in Predict.
The following example shows a model subprogram that requires field information from Predict:
DEFINE DATA PARAMETER PARAMETER . . . LOCAL USING CPAEL LOCAL USING CSASTD . . . END-DEFINE . . . ASSIGN CPAEL.FILE-NAME = #PDAX-FILE-NAME ASSIGN CPAEL.FIELD-NAME = #PDAX-FIELD-NAME CALLNAT 'CPUEL' CPAEL CSASTD * *Check outputs of CPUEL . . . END
This section provides a brief description of the supplied program, subprogram, and helproutine utilities. For examples of how to invoke the utilities, refer to the source code for the supplied model subprograms in the SYSCST library (prefixed by CU).
Note:
Driver programs for many of the supplied model programs and
subprograms are included on the Natural Construct tape (prefixed by CTE). These
driver programs are also available through the Drivers menu option on the
Administration main menu. If a driver program is available, its location is
listed in the Drivers Menu Option section for the program or
subprogram. For information about invoking the driver programs, see
Drivers Menu
Function.
This section covers the following topics:
The supplied objects are divided into three categories, based on the type of information they access. Each category is identified by its prefix as follows:
| Prefix | Object Categories |
|---|---|
| CN* | Identifies objects that return or generate data based on information in the Natural system files. |
| CP* | Identifies objects that return or generate data based on information in Predict. |
| CS* | Identifies objects that are miscellaneous validation, calculation, or translation routines. Most of these routines do not access system file information, but some access Natural Construct system files. |
Whenever possible, use the supplied programs, subprograms, and helproutines instead of accessing the system file information directly. This helps protect your programs from unwanted changes to the internal structure. Natural Construct maintains the upward compatibility of the supplied programs, subprograms, and helproutines.
Many of the supplied subprograms return information through the CSASTD parameter data area (PDA). The value in the RETURN-CODE field should be checked after each call. If it is not blank, it should be passed back to the generation nucleus so the user is aware of the problem.
The following example shows a model subprogram that invokes the CPUEL utility:
DEFINE DATA PARAMETER USING CUMYPDA PARAMETER USING CU--PDA PARAMETER USING CSASTD LOCAL USING CPAEL . . . END-DEFINE . . . CALLNAT 'CPUEL' CPAEL CSASTD IF CSASTD.RETURN-CODE NE ' ' THEN ESCAPE ROUTINE IMMEDIATE END-IF
To invoke the supplied subprograms, pass only the level 1 structures in the PDA. This way, if new parameters are added to the utilities in future versions of Natural Construct, you need only recatalog your model subprograms to incorporate the changes.
Some subprograms have restricted data areas to retain information across multiple calls. The restricted data areas are identified by an R in the third position of the data area name (CPRELNX, for example).
You do not need to be concerned with the contents of these data areas. Define them as local data areas within the invoking subprograms and pass them to the subprogram that is invoked.
Tip:
As with all PDAs, the name of the structure passed to the subprogram
always matches the name of the data area itself.
Many of the Natural Construct utility subprograms iterate through system data and, for each record found, call a user-supplied routine. For example, CPURLRD is used to retrieve all relationships related to a particular file. Rather than returning these relationships to the caller of CPURLRD, the caller must supply the name of a subprogram CPURLRD should call for each relationship found.
These routines accept an A1 array to allow the caller of the utility to communicate information to and from the subprogram called by the utility. This data area is represented by CSAPASS. It is accepted by the utility as a 1:v array so that the actual size of the data area can be determined by the requirements of the caller.
When a subprogram performs read logical processing and returns a series of records, it is sometimes difficult or inefficient for the subprogram to remember where it left off in a previous call. Also, this type of processing can be awkward to code in the invoking object because it must define looping logic and issue iterative CALLNATs until a certain end condition is reached.
To avoid these problems, some subprograms do not return the information to the calling object. Instead, the calling object passes the name of a subprogram that is invoked for each record encountered. To generate an INPUT statement containing all fields in a file, for example, you can use the CPUELNX and CPUELRD subprograms. This section describes these subprograms.
The CPUELNX subprogram can be called iteratively to continually return the next field in the file until an end-of-file condition is reached. The model subprogram that generates the INPUT statement must define the looping logic and make iterative CALLNATs to include each field in the INPUT statement.
The CPUELRD subprogram can be invoked once by the model subprogram (CUXXGIN1, for example). This subprogram receives the name of a file and a subprogram to CALLNAT (CUXXGIN2, for example). It traverses the file and CALLNATs the subprogram for each field. That subprogram adds the current field to the INPUT statement generated. For example:
To allow CPUELRD to remember information across iterative calls, a 1K area is passed to CUXXGIN2. This area can be redefined into individual fields, such as current status information, that are required by CUXXGIN2 across multiple calls. It can also pass additional information between CUXXGIN1 and CUXXGIN2.
Note:
For an example of how subprogram chaining is used, refer to the
CUFMGIN1 and CUFMGIN2 programs in the SYSCST library.
The subprograms described in this section retrieve information from the Natural system files to assist in the generation process. For subprograms that return information about Natural objects (programs, data areas, etc.), the specified data area object must exist in the current library or one of its steplibs.
Tip:
Driver programs for many of the supplied model programs and
subprograms are included on the Natural Construct tape (prefixed by CTE). These
driver programs are also available through the Drivers menu option on the
Administration main menu. If a driver program is available, its location is
listed in the Drivers Menu Option section for the program or
subprogram. For information about invoking the driver programs, see

On Unix platforms, it is necessary to explicitly close any open cursors. CNUELNX does this automatically whenever a data area is read in its entirety. However, if you want the calling program to only read a portion of the data area, you must insert additional code to close the open cursor. For example:
/* close the object IF CNRELNX.NATA1500-END-OF-FILE IGNORE ELSE CNAELNX.#CLOSE-OBJECT := TRUE CALLNAT 'CNUELNX' CNAELNX CNRELNX CSASTD END-IF

help retrn quit main |
Note:
In addition to these fields, CNUNPDA also has access to the
PDA-NAME input parameter in CNANPDA. When PDA-NAME contains the name of an
external data area, the parameters in PDA-NAME are processed and the parameters
in SUBPROGRAM-NAME are ignored.
When using the CTENPDA driver program to call CNUNPDA, the program:
Receives the name of a Natural subprogram in the Subprogram name field.
Reads the parameters for the subprogram.
Determines which fields are available in the PDA (either internally or externally defined).
Passes each field to the processing subprogram specified in the Callnat field. When method 0 is used, each PDA in the subprogram is processed by the subprogram specified in the Callnat field.
Note:
When the method is 0 for CTENPDA, whatever is in the Callnat
field is executed. By default this is the CTENPDA2 subprogram. Regardless of
which subprogram is specified in the Callnat field, the subprogram is executed
once for each of the parameters found in that subprogram. CTENPDA2 uses a map
to display the attributes for each parameter in the specified subprogram.
CTENPDA returns the name of the library containing the Natural subprogram, the number of fields in the PDA, and the number of 1:V fields. The map for CTENPDA uses the variables in CNANPDA (which include the input of the subprogram name and the output of the number of parameters processed). The available methods are:
0 - Normal call
1 - Check Existence of 1:V Array
2 - Generate As Local
3 - Generate As Arguments
4 - Generate As Input Fields
5 - Generate As Helproutine Parms
6 - Generate As Parameter
7 - Generate As External Parameter
8 - Generate As Parameter String
9 - Generate As Non Specified
10 - Generate As Restricted Input
11 - Generate As Unicode Parameter String
For common processes, such as generating an LDA based on the PDAs of a specified subprogram, a non-0 method can be used. This means the value in the Callnat field is ignored and a Construct internal subprogram is called instead of CTENPDA2.
The generated PDA information can be useful when generating:
A CALLNAT statement for the specified subprogram, since a CALLNAT statement requires all level 1 fields in the PDA to be passed to the subprogram (method 3).
An INPUT statement to test the specified subprogram. In this case, all the fields required for the subprogram can be easily defined in the INPUT statement (method 4).
Fields for a DEFINE DATA statement. This is helpful when creating a module that will issue a CALLNAT to the subprogram that is being processed (method 2 or method 6).
How the CST internal subprogram uses the extracted PDA information is determined by the specified method and other input values (such as, only process 1:V fields).
Using the internal subprogram is similar to using method 0 with a CALLNAT to CTNEPDA2, except the method is different and the name of the subprogram called to process each PDA field is not required. The key difference is that information is written to the editor, instead of displayed on the screen (as with CTENPDA2). When not using method 0, therefore, you must quit out of CTENPDA to see the processing results.
Once you know what you want to generate, you can use parameters shown on the CTENPDA screen by placing them in the PDA for CNUNPDA (CNANPDA) and invoking the following CALLNAT statement:
CNANPDA.METHOD := CNLNPDA.GENERATE-AS-LOCAL
CNANPDA.INCLUDE-STEPLIB-SEARCH := TRUE
CNANPDA.INCLUDE-REDEFINE-BASE := CNLNPDA.INCLUDE-BASE-AND-REDEF-LEVEL
CNANPDA.INCLUDE-REDEFINES := CNLNPDA.INCLUDE-ALL-REDEFINES
CALLNAT 'CNUNPDA' CNANPDA
CUDRPDA (or CU__PDA, or any other model PDA)
#PASS(*)
CSASTD |
This section provides an example of using the Driver for subprogram CNUNPDA program, CTENPDA. CTENPDA is useful when determining the effect of the input parameters on the output parameters. For example, you can enter "CALC" in Subprogram name, "CTENPDA2" in Callnat, "2" in Detail ext. data Areas, and "2" in Include redefines to determine the output in the CNANPDA2 PDA (which is placed on a map in CTENPDA2). These details help identify valuable attributes about fields in the data area, such as:
Level number (which allows you to reject all fields that are not level 1, for example).
Field name
Field format
Field length
For this example, the supplied CALC subprogram (available in the SYSCSTDE library) is used. The PDA for CALC is:
DEFINE DATA PARAMETER 1 INPUT-DATA 2 #FUNCTION (A30) 2 #FIRST-NUM (N5.2) 2 #SECOND-NUM (N5.2) 2 #SUCCESS-CRITERIA (N5) 1 OUTPUT-DATA 2 #RESULT (N11.2) 2 #TIME (T) 2 #SUCCESS (L) END-DEFINE
In the following example, CALC is used as input to the subprogram name field:

Notes:
The parameters for CTENPDA2 are:
PARAMETER USING CNANPDA PARAMETER USING CNANPDA2 PARAMETER 01 DATA-PTR(A1/1:V) PARAMETER USING CU__PDA PARAMETER USING CSASTD |
The important inputs when using method 0 are in CNUNPDA. These are:
CNANPDA.SUBPROGRAM-NAME /* the name of the subprogram from which the parameters will be retrieved
CNUNPDA.CALLNAT /* the new subprogram mentioned above
CNUNPDA.METHOD /* should be left as 0
If the non-zero methods do not provide what you need, you can create your own version of CTENPDA2 and do whatever you want with the available variables (the same PDA variables used in CTENPDA2). For example, if you add INCLUDE CU--DFPR to your program, you can use SRC (the editor) as a printer output destination:
INCLUDE CU--DFPR WRITE (SRC) 'Hello' /* this writes Hello to the editor END |
For an example of using the CNUNPDA subprogram, refer to CUDRGEN2 in the SYSCST library.
Note:
To see how CUDRGEN2 works, run the Natural Debugger and place a
break in CUDRGEN2. Then use the Driver model to generate a program.

The subprograms described in this section retrieve information from the Predict data dictionary. While some of these subprograms generate code, most supply information to the calling subprogram and the calling subprogram generates the code.
Notes:
This section covers the following topics:
If Natural Security is installed, the Predict-related subprograms restrict access to file and field information. Users can only retrieve information for files linked to the current application.
While generating a program, the program may access information about the same file many times. To avoid security checks each time, the access subprograms use the FILE-CODE field. This INPUT/OUTPUT field accesses file information and acts as a cipher code to avoid multiple security checks on the same file; it is available for all supplied subprograms.
If you are developing under Natural Security, include the FILE-CODE field in the model PDA for each file used multiple times during generation. The FILE-CODE field is passed in the PDA of the access subprogram and reassigned back to the model PDA after each call.
To avoid security checks for each access, the model subprogram that invokes CPUEL contains the following statements:
ASSIGN CPAEL.FILE-CODE = #PDA-FILE-CODE CALLNAT 'CPUEL' CPAEL CSASTD ASSIGN #PDA-FILE-CODE = CPAEL.FILE-CODE
Note:
For an example of using these subprograms to restrict access to file
and field information, refer to the CUSCGPR program in the SYSCST
library.
| CPU-OBJ | Description |

An object is derived from view and key names. The view and key names are based on intra-object relationships defined in Predict (for example, ORDER-HEADER-HAS-ORDER-LINES). The elements of an object are the individual fields in the files that make up the object. This subprogram traverses the object tree and checks each element. For each element, it CALLNATs the #CALLNAT subprogram and passes it information about the element (for example, the format, length, and type).

You can attach the following helproutines to fields that require the input of Predict information. They are active helproutines that fill the field to which they are attached.
Note:
Some of the following routines provide help information, although
they are coded as subprograms and not as helproutines. This provides greater
flexibility to access help information.
This section covers the following topics:
| CPHEL | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Browses the fields in a file for selection. This subprogram receives the name of a Predict file. (If no file name is specified, it provides file selection.) It browses all the fields in the specified file and returns the selected field. |
| Attached to | Input of a Predict field name. |
| PDAs used |
|
| Files accessed |
|
| CPHELB | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Browses the fields in a file for selection. This
subprogram receives the name of a file and browses all the fields in the file
for selection. Optionally, this subprogram can browse only the descriptor
fields.
Note: |
| PDAs used |
|

|
| CPHFI | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Browses Predict views/files for selection. This helproutine browses all the views and files in Predict for selection. |
| Attached to | Input of a Predict file name. |
| Parameters used |

|
| CPHPRED | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Browses Predict
objects (by object type) for selection. This helproutine receives an object
type and browses the Predict objects of that type for selection. Valid object
types are:
|
| Attached to | Input of a Predict object type. |
| Parameters used |
|
| Files accessed |
|
| CPHRL | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Browses the names of Predict relationships for selection. This helproutine receives the names of a Predict relationship and a file and returns the selected relationship. If a file name is specified, the helproutine browses only the Predict relationships for that file. If no file name is specified, it browses all existing relationships. |
| Attached to | Input of a Predict relationship name. |
| Parameters used |
|
| Files accessed |
|
| CPHSET | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Sets a flag to indicate that help was requested
for a field. This helproutine receives the name of a parameter and sets a flag
to indicate help was requested. The parameter should be checked after the INPUT
statement. If a flag is set, for example, reset the flag and issue CALLNATs to
do the help processing.
This technique allows the helproutine to access all data entered in a single panel transaction. When you generate a browse subprogram, for example, you can type the file name (without pressing Enter) on the Additional Parameters panel and request help for a field. |
| Attached to | Any input field. |

The subprograms described in this section are general purpose generation subprograms. These subprograms are identified by a CU-- prefix.
| CU--EM | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Returns edit masks used by the generated programs for displaying date and time fields. This subprogram can be changed to suit your standards. Changes to this routine should be made in a higher level steplib to minimize maintenance. Unless you modify your models, the date and time field edit masks should not be longer than nine characters. |
| PDAs used |
|
| CU--LRP | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Returns the left and right prompt displayed on the Natural Construct panels. The left prompt displays the current month and day in *DATX (EM=LLL''DD), which can be language sensitive. The right prompt displays the "1 of 1" or "1 of 3" panel indicators, depending on the number of panels. This prompt uses several control record fields to build the prompt position indicators, which are compressed on both sides of the "of" indicator. |
| Parameters/PDAs used |
|
| CU--MSG | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Returns the text for an application error
message. It receives a message number in #PDA-FRAME-PARM. After ensuring this
literal is numeric, it retrieves the short message for the SYSTEM application
and the *Language variable.
The error message is written (left-justified and enclosed within single quotes) to the source buffer, thus substituting for the frame parameter. The usual search criteria and defaults (English) apply. The following example shows a code frame: USE-MSG-NR 1 ASSIGN MSG-INFO.##MSG-NR = 8123 " ELSE 1 ASSIGN MSG-INFO.##MSG = " SUBPROGRAM:CU--MSG PARAM: 8123 N " |

|
| CU--UL | Description |
|---|---|
| What it does | Returns the underscore line used on Natural Construct panels. This subprogram receives an underscore character set and creates the underscore line. The character(s) specified on the control record (A4) is duplicated to fill the A80 length. |
| Parameters/PDAs used |
