Assortment: Transferring and Distributing Layout Modules 

Use

Data from database table MALG is still transferred using message category ARTMAS. As of Release 4.6C, message category LAYMOD can be used to transfer data from MALG. This is because the space management interface is always used to process one layout module containing different materials.

As table MALG is a separate object for Release 4.6C, data from table MALG for references is not include in distribution. LAYMOD is used to distribute this data.

Until 4.6B, message category ARTMAS was used to distribute changes in assigning materials to layout modules. As of 4.6C, only message category LAYMOD can be used to distribute layout modules.

Program RWMALG02 deletes changes to table MALG that are distributed using message category ARTMAS. This program can only be used when upgrading to 4.6C from a previous Release.
