Issue with Selection Box parameter in Extended Field Editing

, ,
1

When I tried the Selection Box parameter for the first time, The following error occured

NAT0937 WRONG ARRAY DEFINED IN PARAM. 1

1 #SB-1 (A2/1:6) CONST<‘A1’,‘A2’,‘A3’,‘A4’,‘A5’,‘A6’>
was defined in the program that called the INPUT USING MAP statement

AD= MDLT______ ZP= SG= HE= ‘JOSH-TI1’___________ RLS 0
AL= _____ CD= __ CV= MOD DATA
PM= __ DF= DY= _____________________
EM= __________________________ SB= #SB-1(*)____

This is the way I defined in the extended field editing . Could anyone help me out in this?

Hi Joseph,
Apparently, you did not specify your willing to have just 6 values; as such, your map assumes you want to have 10 occurrences (default).

To change this, you would have to go into Parameter Definition and change that 10 to 6 - that`s all:-)
Best of luck,
NK

But where I need to change in Parameter definitions I didnt find the place . Please help me out :?

From option D on the map editor menu you select Parameters via PF9 or PF10.

(Or something like that. Sorry, haven’t been on a mainframe much in the last few years.)

Ralph is absolutely right - as always, by the way :slight_smile:
Joseph, you just have to follow his instructions:

  1. Hit “D” on this screen

                Code    Function

Hi Joseph,
Just hit “A” on that last screen and change 10 to 6.

Thanks Nicholay for helping me in this. Also could you please provide me with a list of commands that can be used there other than A

Help text is commonly available throughout Natural’s Integrated Development Environment (IDE). To invoke help, place the cursor on a field and press PF1, or type a question mark (?) in the first position of a modifiable field an press ENTER.

Help should be available via any field in the Cmd column.

Could not disagree less with Ralph; moreover (this is my personal opinion :slight_smile: while reading HELP system, one may discover a lot about many things (and sometimes even much more than he/she were initially looking for :slight_smile:

And this is the HELP reaction, Joseph, on my “PF1” key:

09:55:36 Field and Variable Definitions - Summary 2013-05-2

Cmd Field Name (Truncated) Mod Format Ar Ru Lin Co
___ #SB_________________________________________ U A2 2

Cmd Explanation

. Exit
– Top
A Define array
E Edit map field
Prr Process. rule
D Delete field

Help in Natural is very-very good in my opinion; practically, it is just like “…ask - and you shall receive”
as such, just THINK about HELP before asking another question :slight_smile:
Best of luck,
Nikolay
