GROUP-ELEMENT. This data set contains information about relationships between GROUPs and

ELEMENTs. Entries in the data set are retrieved through chained read on GROUP. The destination

relationship type depends on a number of factors:

1 IfFILE-KEYfieldcontains0,thentheentryis mapped to aINFORM-GROUPcontainsELEMENT

FILE three-way relationship.

2 If FILE-KEY field contains a non-zero value, then the key value is used to chain into the FILE-

PATH detail set. Then the file name found is used to find the FILE-TYPE from DATA-FILE.

3 If the FILE-TYPE is either MAST, AUTO, or DETL, the INFORM-GROUP contains ELEMENT

IMAGE-DATASET IMAGE-DATABASE relationship is created. If the FILE-PARENT-KEY field

is non-zero, that number is used to retrieve the IMAGE-DATABASE name.

4 If the FILE-TYPE is KSAM, then the INFORM-GROUP contains ELEMENT KSAMFILE relation-

ship is created.

5 Otherwise, the INFORM-GROUP contains ELEMENT FILE relationship is created.

The ﬁelds are mapped according to the following table:

Notes

1 If the value of t his field is 0, the element-display attribute is set to TRUE. Otherwise, it is set to

FALSE.

Note that when converting GROUP-GROUP and GROUP-ELEMENT detail sets, SDCONV reads serially

through DATA-GROUP and, for each GROUP found, chains into GROUP-GROUP and GROUP-

ELEMENT, i.e., SDCONV alternates between these two ﬁles and converts deﬁnitions.

CLASS-GROUP. This data set relates Inform user classes to Inform groups. Entries in the data set are
