You can list all symbol tables that can be used by a job or a network.
To list symbol tables available for a job or network
In the object workspace, select a job or a network instance.
Open the context menu and choose Usable Symbol Tables.
A Usable Symbol Tables window similar to the example of an active job below opens:
This window lists all symbol tables which can be used by the
current object (network, job master, job active). The example above lists the
symbol tables that can be used by the active job J07.
The columns in the window are explained in Columns: Usable Symbol Tables.
The symbol tables are listed in descending hierarchical order, that is, the topmost symbol table is used first during symbol replacement.
For information on all types of symbol tables available and the search order that applies when replacing symbols, see Symbol Table Types and Symbol Search Order.
This section covers the following topics:
The columns contained in the Usable Symbol Tables window are described in the following table:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Type of the symbol table: see Symbol Table Types and Symbol Search Order. |
| Owner | Owner of the symbol table. |
| Symbol Table | Name of the symbol table. |
| Version | Version of the symbol table. |
| Network | For active job networks only.
Active network which uses the symbol table. |
| Version | For active job networks only
Version of the active network which uses the symbol table. |
| Run | For active job networks only.
Run number of the active job network. |
You can list all jobs and networks that use a symbol table master. This is required, for example, if you cannot delete a symbol table because it still uses one or more jobs. You then need to find these jobs and change their symbol table settings or delete the jobs.
Note:
This function only shows the references of a network or job to a
master symbol table if it has been explicitly defined. You can use the
cross-reference function Symbol Table
Usage (see
Generating
Cross-Reference Reports Online) to get a list of all
references to a master symbol table including the references contained in input
conditions and End-of-Job actions.
To list of jobs and networks that use a symbol table master
In the object workspace, select a Symbol Table Master instance and select from the context menu.
A Where used Symbol Table Master window similar to the example below opens:
The window lists all networks and jobs that use the selected
symbol table master (here: EXAM-TABLE) of the specified owner
(here: SAGTEST).
All symbol table versions defined for the selected symbol table are listed.
The columns in the window are explained in Fields and Columns: Symbol Table Usage.
To open a list of jobs and networks that use an active symbol
table
In the object workspace, select a Symbol Table Active instance and choose from the context menu.
An Active Usage Symbol Table Active window which corresponds to the Where used Symbol Table Master window opens. The fields and columns are explained in Fields and Columns: Symbol Table Usage.
This section covers the following topics:
The columns contained in the Where used Symbol Table Master or Active Usage Symbol Table Active window are explained in the following table:
| Column | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Name and version of the job network. | |
| Job | Name of the job that uses
the symbol table.
A dash ( |
|
| Type | Indicates whether a job
