Option 8 on the SirPro main menu provides a full-screen facility for managing group definitions in CCAGRP.

Note: This option is only available to system managers.

CCAGRP screen for permanent group definitions

For each group defined in CCAGRP, SirPro displays two lines of information. The first line contains the group name and parameters, and the second line contains the files defined to the group. The parameters shown for each group are:

Access PUBLIC, SEMIPUB, or PRIVATE.
Privileges Hexadecimal switches associating various privileges with the default opening of PUBLIC and SEMIPUB groups.
BLDGFT Entering Y builds global find table, and N does not build this table, when the group is opened. Y is the default.
PROCFILE File name of the group member that will contain procedures. If all members may contain procedures, an asterisk (*) is used.
UPDTFILE File that should be the target of record adds when no specific member name context is given.
Priv Level N Procedure class level.
Priv Level S Class level required for SELECT.
Priv Level R Class level required for READ.
Priv Level U Class level required for UPDATE.
Priv Level A Class level required for ADD.

See Security for more information about security.

The SirPro CCAGRP interface imposes a limit of 24 files per group. If you have groups defined with more than 24 files, Option 8 on the SirPro main menu may be used to view them, but should not be used to update them, as the 25th and later files will be deleted from the definition. SirPro prevents Update, Copy, or Rename commands against groups with more than 24 members.

Prefixing each group name is a single-character command field. Valid commands in these fields are:

D Deletes the group definition.
R Rename the group.
C Copy the group definition to a group definition of a new name.
U Update: Change the parameter settings for the files defined to the group definition.

Delete and Rename are executed directly from the CCAGRP screen. Copy and Update send the user to a group definition update screen. In addition, the command-line command ADD groupname sends the user to the same screen. The update screen is described below.

These PF keys are available on the group definition display:

PF1 Help.
PF3 Quit (return to SirPro Main Menu).
PF7 Scroll up.
PF8 Scroll down.
PF9 Repeat last command-line command.
PF10 Scroll file lines to the left.
PF11 Scroll the file lines to the right. If there are more than 8 files in a group definition, an ellipsis (...) will appear to the right of the eighth file. This PF key shifts the view to the right to display the remaining files.

Updating a group definition

Copy, Update, and ADD commands invoke the following display, which allows an entire GROUP definition to be built.

CCAGRP screen for updating a group definition

Access, Privileges, and Bldgft are set to their Model 204 default values. Enter values for the remaining fields, and press PF12 to build the group.

PF keys valid for this display are:

PF1 Help.
PF3 Quit (return to SirPro main menu).
PF9 Repeat last command-line command.
PF12 Commit the definition to CCAGRP. This key invokes error checking before the group definition commands are executed.
