Features

Analyzing Sets

Set Maintenance provides a number of ways to analyze sets and their use, with the Utilities menu.

  • Set directory

  • Values in sets

  • Set usage

  • Graphics

  • Unused sets

Set directory

Requesting the set directory display from the Utilities menu calls up a selection screen to limit your search by set ID, table field name, author name or name of the last person to change the set, and set type. The system offers you a list of sets including a description, indication of the set type and field, and the creation and modification date.

You can also call up the Set Name dialog box from any initial screen with the Set ID entry field by choosing F 4help.

Example Example

To select standard sets defined as row sets, enter:

Set name: 1-L*

End of the example.
