Re: WDSCI-L Digest, Vol 9, Issue 119

Hi Jose

I tried something, to be sure of what I am going to say.

To keep things simple, I made a diagram from 2 source members - the one a CLLE that calls an RPGLE. It showed the 2 source members, as well as a CALL connector from the CLLE source member to the RPGLE program.

As I move my mouse around the diagram, things change, and descriptive boxes appear. For example, the border of the item I am over changes color (yellow in my case). And its description displays. If I am hovering over the source member itself, it has a label with the text, "Source member VERN/QRPGLESRC(SQTEST26R)". If I hover over the item inside that box, it has a label with the text, "Main procedure SQTEST26R of VERN/QRPGLESRC(SQTEST26R)".

If you right-click on something when you see the description, the border color changes again - to blue in my case. On that popup menu is a "File->" option, and in there is an option to "Save as image file...". If you click on that option, you get a dialog, and what you get is a JPG, perhaps, of ONLY the item you had selected - not the entire diagram.

So this is the only way I know to get individual pieces into a picture of just each component.

I now discovered that if you click on one component, then hold the CTRL key and click on another component, then right-click and take the option to save as an image file, it makes an image of those 2 components.

If you right-click in between components, you get an option to save, as above, and to print the diagram - the print option has some interesting possibilities, since you can have it print any or all of the open diagrams at one time - probably different pages. I've not tried that yet. But you could maybe open a diagram for each source by itself, then open the ones you want together, then print the set.

I just tried something else - when I select components that are connected, the connector does not show up in the JPG. So you need to select the connector, as well. A shortcut is to click and hold the left mouse button down, then drag across all the components and connectors you want in the JPG. Then right-click as described above. It worked!!!

Maybe this can give you something useful. By the way, this is using RDp 7.6

When save diagram,usually doing on Folder:
RemoteSystemsTempFiles/{host_name}/home/{user}, and to reopen it:
File->OpenFile->{workspace}/RemoteSystemsTempFiles/{host_name}/home/{user},
double click and show diagram

Unfortunately, when you select multiple sources and right-click on one of
them, it opens all selected in a single diagram. Even if you download the
source physical file (QRPGLESRC) in a project of I, can make diagram pf-src
level rather than mbr.

Hi Jose

It would be nice if this process were possible to automate. Right now,
it is very much on a low level, in some respects. I like having the
application diagram feature, but, for one thing, I don't know how to get
the diagram back. Once I save it and close it, I can't find it again.

That is just one thing. It would be nice to have some kind of commands
in RDP to let you create the diagrams in an automated fashion, as you
describe. That might be something to take to the RFE site - request for
enhancement. A couple IBM folk mentioned that recently, so maybe look in
the archives for RFE.

Now I do think that, even if you have selected many source members, you
CAN click on one of them in the diagram, right-click within there, and
be able to get individual output. I don't guarantee that, but I do
remember doing something like that.

Still, that is not at all automatized.

Hi Vern

What I want, is to generate a diagram for each source, and have so many
sources, can be an endless task.

So try to find a way to automate it with the goal of having a plot for

each

source.

The problem to select multiple, is that unites them in a single diagram

and

clear can be monstrous.

Hmm - if you select only one source member and right-click to create the
diagram, does it pick up all of the other source, too? Or just the one
you selected? Try that.

If you have the full diagram - all sources - I think you can select
(click on) one of the sources and have only that one printed. You can
right-click on the source you've selected, then there is a context menu
with some save and print options.

That diagram has to be a monster!!
