This document covers the following topics:
Predict offers you three possible methods of evaluating XRef data
listed below. Select the method you require in the LIST
XREF menu before you call a function. This option is valid for
the duration of your session or until you select another option in the
LIST XREF menu.
The Library Structure Documented in Predict
Enter a valid library structure for parameter Structure. See
Using a
Structure Documented in Predict The structure to be used
is taken from the link list Library structure > System.
The Runtime Structure
Enter *R for parameter Structure.
Without any Structure
The LIST XREF functions evaluate
XRef data as before. Only objects in the current library are displayed. See
Working without any
Structure.
Notes:
The LIST XREF Main Menu is invoked by entering LIST
XREF after the Natural NEXT prompt. The command can be
abbreviated to L X (separated by a blank). Alternatively, the XRef
menu can be invoked in the Natural Development Facilities menu.

In this window you can specify that
no library structure is to be used for evaluating XRef data
the runtime structure is to be used.
a library structure defined in Predict is to be used. A list of all library structures in Predict where the system which documents the current library is contained in the link list Library Structure > System is displayed.
See Library Structure in the Predefined Object Types in Predict documentation.
Notes:
See examples given in Effects of Steplib Support.
This field shows the ID of the system object in Predict that documents the library. This value is taken from the implementation pointer of the system object. The system with the most detailed implementation pointer is used, see table.
| LIBRARY | FNR | DBNR | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | x | x | x |
| 2 | x | x | |
| 3 | x |
Example: An implementation pointer consisting of Library/Fnr/DBnr is used before a pointer consisting of Library/Fnr only.
The link list Library structure-System of the library structure specified must contain the system displayed in field System.
The link list Library structure-System is evaluated. Each system in the list is checked as follows:
If no information is present in the implementation pointer of the system, the system is ignored
If the implementation pointer is incomplete, the system searches for possible XRef data. This XRef data is used to supply the missing Fnr and DBnr information in the implementation pointer.
If no XRef data is found, the values of the current FUSER file are used to supply the missing DBnr and Fnr information in the implementation pointer.
If the current library is a Natural library, the structure is appended with:
--> *STEPLIB <--.
SYSTEM FUSER (only if different to *STEPLIB)
SYSTEM FNAT
Note:
A maximum of 20 steplibs is supported.
See the section Library Structure in the Predefined Object Types in Predict documentation.
The following screen appears if you enter *R for parameter Structure.

If there is any Structure used (not *** without structure ***), this structure is shown on any LIST XREF menu in the header as shown below.
If the structure is reverted, the header contains a remark indicating this.

Using the command INFO you can display
at any time during your LIST XREF session all libraries that will be evaluated
by LIST XREF functions. The current library is marked with an arrow. In
addition, you can save a runtime stucture and can then toggle between reverse
and notreverse order.
See example below.

In batch mode, the library can be set via various methods:
If Natural Security is active, the logon user ID is used to identify the LIST XREF User Profile.
If no LIST XREF User Profile for the logon user ID exists or Natural Security is not active, the LIST XREF Default Profile gets active.
These Profiles may contain a default library structure, which is set if it is valid for the current logon library. This is reported via a appropriate message.
In addition, the command STRUCTURE is used to specify which
library structure is to be used. Also the command PROFILE
<user> activates a library
structure specified in the LIST XREF User Profile, if it is valid for the
actual logon library.
A default library structure can either be defined in the LIST XREF User Profile for individual users or in the LIST XREF Default Profile for users without own profile and batch mode users in non-security environments. See Maintaining a LIST XREF Profile in the section LIST XREF for Natural in the Predict Reference documentation and LIST XREF Default Profile in the section Predict Defaults in the Predict Administration documentation.
