This section covers the following topics:
For a definition of private, public and common libraries, see Libraries in Using Super Natural in the User's Guide.
You can perform the following commands on libraries:
| ADD | MODIFY | COPY | DELETE | INFO | MEMBER | |
| Private Library | X | X | X | |||
| Public Library | X | X | X | |||
| Common Library | X | X | X |
Super Natural libraries can contain the following types of members:
Transaction programs
Prototype programs
Application programs
Data models
Layout member
Work-in-progress layout member
You can perform the following commands on members:
| ADD | MODIFY | COPY | DELETE | INFO | MEMBER | |
| Member | X | X | X |
There is no Add Library function.
To create a library
Copy an existing library specifying the required library prefix for the target library.
Common libraries are not created until they are defined in the Common Library Definition List (although they may appear in the Library List).
Note:
Libraries are not created until members are copied to them.
To list libraries with a certain prefix and member prefix
Issue the LIBRARY command.
Or:
Select the object Library from the
AdministrationMenu.
The Library List screen appears as in the following example:
14:49 ***** Super Natural ***** 1999-05-21

The Library List screen shows the following:
Library prefix
Member prefix
The libraries defined to Super Natural with the library prefix and member prefix shown
The number of programs with the prefix shown contained in each library shown
Enter the prefix for the type of library you want to see in the Library Prefix field.
Enter the prefix for the type of program you want to see in the Member prefix field.
The libraries with the prefix specified are listed and the number of programs with the prefix specified contained in each library is shown.
You use the Copy Library function to copy
members of a certain type either to an existing or to a new library. You cannot
copy all the members of a library at once. You must copy each member type
separately.
Notes:
To copy a library
Issue the COPY LIBRARY command specifying
source and target library prefix and name as in the following example:
COPY LIBRARY YTEST I ZPUBLIC I
If you enter CO in the command column of
the Library List screen next to the library you want
to copy, a window appears which prompts you for prefix and name
information.
A window appears showing which members are currently being copied. If there is already a member with the same prefix and name in the target library, you are asked if you want to replace (overwrite) the member in the target library.
You use the Delete Library function to delete
members with a certain prefix from libraries. You cannot delete all the members
of a library at once. You must delete each member type separately.
If you delete all transactions, the layout members which belong to them are also deleted. However, the work-in-progress layout members are not deleted. Work-in-progress layout members (prefix!) can only be deleted from the Member List screen.
Note:
A library itself is not deleted until all its members are
deleted.
To delete a library
Issue the DELETE LIBRARY command
specifying library prefix, library name and program prefix as in the following
example:
DELETE LIBRARY YTEST I
Confirm the deletion in the window which appears.
All the programs with the prefix specified are deleted from the library.
Or:
Enter DE in the command column of the Library List
screen next to the library you want to delete.
Confirm the deletion in the window which appears.
All the programs with the prefix specified in the Member prefix field of the Library List screen are deleted from the library.
Note:
You must delete common libraries and their definitions
separately.
To list the members contained in a library
Issue the MEMBER command specifying
library-prefix, library-name and program-prefix.
The Member List screen appears:

The Member List screen contains the following information:
Library prefix
Member prefix
The name of the library whose members are listed - you can overtype this with another library ID
The members with the prefix specified contained in the library specified
To copy a library member
Issue the COPY MEMBER command specifying
library prefix, library name, member prefix and member name for both source and
target member as in the following example:
COPY MEMBER YSBE ISAMPLE3 CTUTOR ISAMPLE3
If you enter CO in the command column of
the Member list screen next to the member you want to
copy, the Copy Member window appears which prompts you
for name and prefix information for the target library and target prefix.
In some cases, you cannot copy a transaction to another library because of layout conflicts.
Note:
You cannot copy transactions with transaction mode for reporting
Destination USER FILE between libraries.
To delete a library member
Issue the DELETE MEMBER command
specifying library prefix, library name, member prefix and member name as in
the following example:
DELETE MEMBER YSBE ISAMPLE3
Note:
If you enter CO in the
command column of the Member
list screen next to the member you want to copy, the copy member
window appears which prompts you for name and prefix information for the target
library and target prefix.
To obtain information about a member
Enter the command abbreviation IN in the
command column of the Member
List screen next to the member name.
Or:
Issue the INFO MEMBER command specifying
library prefix, library name, member prefix and member name as in the following
example:
INFO MEMBER YSBE IDATA3
