The programmer's PAI facility helps SOUL developers by running an extract of records in order to:

  • View a sample of the record structure stored in the Model 204 file.
  • Extract a sample of the data for reloading into a test data base.

To use the PAI facility, select Option 3 from the SirPro main menu. UL/SPF displays the Print All Information (PAI) screen.

PAI facility

Supply values in the fields shown, as described below:

USE PARMS The default directs the output to the terminal. To direct the output elsewhere, specify the output destination DDNAME or the printer ID. Use the following syntax:
To local printer $PRINT CLASS=X
To VTAM printer PRINT QUEUE XXXX
(the printer must have the VTAM printer support option)
To a data set OUTXXXX
FILE NAME The name of the file (up to 8 characters) to be searched.
PASSWORD The password for the file, if needed.
FIELD The field name to search for.
OPERATOR A standard Model 204 operator command; for example, =, IS GT, IS LT.
VALUE The value of the field to search for.

Press PF11 to toggle between CHECKON and CHECKOFF. CHECKON checks whether the field names are defined to the file before execution by looking in the Model 204 dictionary for the file/field combination.

CHECKOFF executes without first checking the field names against the Dictionary. Use CHECKOFF when editing is not required or the file data are not available from the Model 204 dictionary.

As long as you remain in UL/SPF the PAI input panel will retain your latest input. If you leave UL/SPF you will lose the contents of the screen.
