| Source code tables are ALL-IN-1 data files, mapped by entry forms, which
contain information that is converted to code and linked with the ALL-IN-1
image. At present (ALL-IN-1 V3.0) there are source code tables for
site-defined functions (previously in OASDF) and special symbols (previously
in OAGBL). Site-defined functions are a specific case of source-code
tables for reasons I will ignore for the moment. They therefore use
their own CM elements SDF and OASDF rather than SCT and OASCT.
The difference between SCT and OASCT (and also between SDF and OASDF) is
whether the object module is replaced in the OALIBR object library when
it is moved to live. Unless you are inventing your own tables you will
be using OA*.
Just to give you an idea of how these work: The entry form manages the
records in the data file and ensures alphabetical ordering, uppercasing
etcetera. When the element is moved to live a boilerplate processes
the datafile and produces an intermediate VAX MACRO file which defines
the table structure and contents. The MACRO file is assembled and then
optionally replaced in the object library as mentioned above. You still
need to relink the main image manually for the changes to take effect.
I hope this helps,
John

| 288.2 | Also earlier here... | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Fri Mar 20 1992 11:59 | 4 |
| I'm sure there's been some recent discussion about this here too, but I
can't find it with a casual glance.

| 288.3 | You too?? | AIMTEC::WICKS_A | Vote Bill'n'Opus for a weirder USA | Fri Mar 20 1992 16:13 | 12 |
| Jill,
So you're doing training on CM as well??
Just as soon as I have my stuff sanity checked by Simon Eijs
i'll let you have a copy. There's lots of stuff about element types
such OASCT and OASDF (I haven't done SCT and SDF yet) and all the other
new and sexy stuff to do with Message Files and Symbols.
Regards,
Andrew.D.Wicks

| 288.4 | Thanks | KERNEL::HOULDINGJ | Jill Houlding - Back in Basingstoke | Fri Mar 20 1992 16:50 | 19 |
| Thanks all for the assistance.
Andy,
The training that I am giving is at a fairly superficial level (at
least this time...). I am including a section on CM in the Installation
course which I am delivering in the UK next week just so the guys doing
the Installation have some understanding of how it has changed.
I would be interested to see your materials as I may well have to do some
more in-depth stuff later.
Thanks again
Cheers
Jill
P.S Where is the stuff on SCT and OASCT documented - I couldn't find it!

| 288.5 | Look for it in the INBOX later | AIMTEC::WICKS_A | Vote Bill'n'Opus for a weirder USA | Fri Mar 20 1992 17:21 | 13 |
| Jill,
Next week and you've already started preparing?? (:==:)
SCT and SDF stuff is in APR guide Chap 24.
I'll send the material in the mail later... don't forget this'll cost
one pint of beer at Christmas!
Regards,
Andrew.D.wicks

| 288.6 | We will document all this soon | SIOG::T_REDMOND | Thoughts of an Idle Mind | Fri Mar 20 1992 22:33 | 13 |
| We are quite aware that there is a subtle lack of material regarding
some of the more esoteric corners of CM+. We hope to do something about
it by submitting some articles for publication in the information
update. First we have to get rid of some other bits and pieces, then we
will start to document things like SDFs, A1MSGs, ESOs and LSOs. Not to
mention how to package and receive elements, use of foreign files,
adding new element types, adding new options to the context senstive
menus etc. etc. etc.
All this could easily fill a book... must start writing something some
day...
Tony
