Commands of the Database Variable Display Screen

INSERT Command

This command enables the user to manually insert a new current generation of a Database variable. The generation number of existing generations, if any, is automatically incremented by one. The user must set the value, and optionally can set the User Key and Run ID of the inserted current generation. Automatically, the Creation Date is set to the current date and time, the By User field is set to the user’s User ID, and the Type field is set to O (indicating that this generation was created by the online facility).

The INSERT command, or the abbreviation I, is typed on the command line of the Database Variable Display screen. When Enter is pressed, an empty variable generation record is displayed at the top of the screen. The message "PLEASE FILL IN THE ENTRY DATA" is also displayed. After specifying the value and, optionally, the User Key and Run ID fields, press Enter to insert the generation in the Database. The message "ENTRY ADDED" is displayed.
