BB800E RPGLE

The BB800E.rpgle.txt is an RPGLE (RPG IV) program named BB800E, designed for the Customer Order Entry system on an IBM AS/400 (iSeries) platform. It serves as a "Customer Order Instructions Inquiry" program, providing an interactive interface to query accessorial and marks instructions for customer orders or ship-to master records, using a subfile (SFL) to display data. Below, I will explain the process steps, business rules, tables used, and external programs called, based on the provided RPGLE source code.

Process Steps

The program follows a structured flow to manage the inquiry process for customer order instructions, organized into subroutines executed in a specific sequence:

  1. Initialization (*inzsr Subroutine):
  2. Parameters: Receives four input parameters:
    • p$co (2 characters): Company number.
    • p$csor (6 characters): Customer or order number.
    • p$ship (3 characters): Ship-to number (zero for order mode, non-zero for ship-to mode).
    • p$fgrp (1 character): File group identifier ('G' or 'Z') for file overrides.
  3. Field Setup: Initializes subfile control fields (rrn1, rrnsv1, pagsz1 set to 32), output parameters (o$mode = 'INQ', o$flag = '0'), and message handling fields (dspmsg, m@pgmq, m@key).
  4. Key Lists: Defines key lists (klc1s1, klc1s2, klc1r1, klc1r2, klordh, klcus1, klcus2, klship) for file access.

  5. File Overrides: Prepares for file overrides based on p$fgrp ('G' or 'Z').

  6. Error Handling (*pssr Subroutine):

  7. Checks for parameter errors using the program status data structure (psds##). If ps#err = 221 (invalid number of parameters), sets return = '*detc' and exits.

  8. Process Parameters (@parms Subroutine):

  9. Assigns input parameters to control fields:
    • If at least 1 parameter, sets c$co = p$co.
    • If at least 2 parameters, sets c$csor = p$csor.
    • If at least 3 parameters, sets c$ship = p$ship.

  10. Includes commented-out test values for c$co, c$csor, and c$ship for order and ship-to modes.

  11. Open Database Tables (opntbl Subroutine):

  12. Applies file overrides for arcust, bbora1, bbordh, bbshsa1, and shipto based on p$fgrp ('G' for g* files, 'Z' for z* files) using the QCMDEXC API.

  13. Opens the files with usropn for input-only access.

  14. Retrieve Data (rtvdta Subroutine):

  15. Clears display fields (c$csnm, c$shnm).
  16. Order Mode (c$ship = 0):
    • Sets header c$hdr1 to "Open Order Accessorials/Marks Inquiry" (hd1(01)).
    • Chains to bbordh using klordh to validate the order.
    • Chains to arcust using klcus1 to retrieve customer name (arname) into c$csnm.

  17. Ship-to Mode (c$ship ≠ 0):

    • Sets header c$hdr1 to "ShipTo Master Accessorials/Marks Inq." (hd1(02)).
    • Sets *in79 to indicate ship-to mode.
    • Chains to arcust using klcus2 to retrieve customer name (arname) into c$csnm.
    • Chains to shipto using klship to retrieve ship-to name (csname) into c$shnm.

  18. Process Subfile (srsfl1 Subroutine):

  19. Subfile Setup: Initializes subfile mode (sfmod1 = '1', folded, *in45 = *on), clears message subfile (clrmsg), and writes it (wrtmsg).
  20. Repositioning: Calls sf1rep to position the file and load initial records.
  21. Overlay: Writes an assume-overlay record (wdwovr).
  22. Main Loop (sf1agn):
    • Repositions the subfile if repsfl is on, using r$rcid (sf1rep).
    • Displays the message subfile if errors exist (wrtmsg).
    • Sets *in41 (SFLDSP) based on whether subfile records exist (rrn1 > 0).
    • Sets folded/unfolded mode (*in45) based on sfmod1.
    • Writes the command line (sflcmd1), sets *in40 (SFLDSPCTL), and displays the subfile control format (sflctl1) using exfmt.
    • Clears message subfile (clrmsg, msgclr) if errors exist.
    • Clears format indicators (*in50-69, *in21-39).
    • Sets the subfile record number (rcdnb1) to pagrrn for proper page redisplay.

  23. User Input Handling:

    • F03 (Exit): Exits the loop (sf1agn = *off).
    • F12 (Return): Exits the loop (sf1agn = *off).
    • Enter Key: Processes subfile selections (sf1prc).
    • User Positioning: If c$rcid ≠ 0, repositions the subfile (sf1rep).
    • F10: Clears cursor position (row1, col1) and sets *in69.
    • Page Down: Commented out, but would load additional records (sf1lod).

  24. Subfile Processing (sf1prc Subroutine):

  25. If rrn1 > 0, reads subfile records (readc sfl1) and processes changes (sf1chg) for each record (*in81 = *off).

  26. Subfile Record Change (sf1chg Subroutine):

  27. Currently empty, with commented-out logic for processing option 5 (s1sel = 5) via sf1s05, suggesting limited or disabled selection functionality.

  28. Subfile Repositioning (sf1rep Subroutine):

  29. Clears the subfile (sf1clr) and validates control fields (sf1cte).

  30. If no errors (*in50 = *off):

    • In order mode (c$ship = 0), positions bbora1 using klc1s1.
    • In ship-to mode, positions bbshsa1 using klc1s2.
    • Retains c$rcid in r$rcid and clears c$rcid.
    • Loads subfile records (sf1lod).

  31. Control Field Validation (sf1cte Subroutine):

    • Empty, with commented-out validation for a model field (c$modl) against inmodl, suggesting potential for future validation (e.g., error 'ERR0900').

  32. Subfile Loading (sf1lod Subroutine):

    • Sets rrn1 to the last saved record number (rrnsv1) and rcdnb1 to rrn1 + 1.
    • Loads up to pagsz1 (32) records:
    • In order mode, reads bbora1 using klc1r1.
    • In ship-to mode, reads bbshsa1 using klc1r2.
    • If end of file (*in43 = *on), adjusts rcdnb1 and exits the loop.
    • Formats each record (sf1fmt) and writes to the subfile.
    • Saves the last record number (rrnsv1) and clears cursor position (row1, col1).

  33. Subfile Formatting (sf1fmt Subroutine):

    • Clears the subfile record and populates fields from bbora1 or bbshsa1:
    • s1rcid: Record ID (barcid).
    • s1qty: Quantity (baqty).
    • s1desc: Description (badesc).
    • s1tcst: Total cost (batcst).
    • s1rccd: Reason code (barccd).
    • s1pick: Pick flag (bapick = 'Y').
    • s1dsph: Dispatch flag (badsph = 'Y').
    • s1bol: Bill of lading flag (babol = 'Y').
    • s1inv: Invoice flag (bainv = 'Y').
    • s1cost: Cost indicator (batcst ≠ 0, sets *in71).

  34. Subfile Protection (sf1pro Subroutine):

    • Empty, indicating no specific protection logic (though *in70 is defined for global protect in inquiry mode).

  35. Message Handling:

    • Add Message (addmsg): Sends error messages to the program message queue using QMHSNDPM.
    • Write Message (wrtmsg): Displays the message subfile (msgctl).
    • Clear Message (clrmsg): Clears the message subfile using QMHRMVPM, preserving rcdnam and pagrrn.

  36. Program Termination:

    • Closes all files (close *all).
    • Sets *inlr = *on and returns.

Business Rules

  1. Operation Modes:
  2. Order Mode (p$ship = 0): Queries accessorial/marks instructions for a customer order using bbora1. Displays header "Open Order Accessorials/Marks Inquiry."

  3. Ship-to Mode (p$ship ≠ 0): Queries instructions for a customer ship-to using bbshsa1. Displays header "ShipTo Master Accessorials/Marks Inq." and sets *in79.

  4. Data Validation:

  5. Validates customer (bocust or c$csor) against arcust to retrieve arname.
  6. In order mode, validates order (c$csor) against bbordh.
  7. In ship-to mode, validates ship-to (c$ship) against shipto to retrieve csname.

  8. Commented-out validation for c$modl suggests potential for model-specific checks.

  9. Subfile Management:

  10. Displays up to 32 records per page (pagsz1).
  11. Supports folded/unfolded display modes (*in45).

  12. No "No Results" message logic, unlike BI890P.

  13. Navigation and Input:

  14. F03: Exits the program.
  15. F12: Returns, exiting the loop.
  16. F10: Positions cursor to the control record and sets *in69.
  17. Enter: Processes subfile selections (though sf1chg is currently empty).
  18. Positioning: Repositions the subfile if c$rcid ≠ 0.

  19. Page Down: Commented out, but would load additional records.

  20. Inquiry-Only:

  21. Operates in inquiry mode (o$mode = 'INQ'), with *in70 defined for global field protection.

  22. No update or create functionality (no options like 1, 2, or 3 as in BI890P).

  23. Error Handling:

  24. Displays errors in a message subfile (msgctl) using QMHSNDPM.
  25. Clears messages after each display cycle (clrmsg).
  26. Parameter errors (ps#err = 221) trigger program exit.

Tables (Files) Used

The program uses the following database files (tables) with input-only access (if and usropn): 1. arcust: Customer master file (contains customer data, e.g., arname). 2. bbora1: Order accessorial/marks file (contains order instructions, e.g., barcid, baqty, badesc, batcst, barccd, bapick, badsph, babol, bainv). 3. bbordh: Order header file (contains order data, e.g., bocust). 4. bbshsa1: Ship-to accessorial/marks file (contains ship-to instructions, similar fields to bbora1). 5. shipto: Ship-to master file (contains ship-to data, e.g., csname). 6. bb800ed: Display file (workstation file with subfile sfl1 and formats sflctl1, sflcmd1, msgctl, msgclr, wdwovr).

External Programs Called

The program calls the following external programs (all system APIs): 1. QCMDEXC: Executes file override commands (ovrdbf) for arcust, bbora1, bbordh, bbshsa1, and shipto. 2. QMHSNDPM: Sends error messages to the program message queue. 3. QMHRMVPM: Clears messages from the program message queue.

Summary

The BB800E program is an inquiry-only tool for displaying accessorial and marks instructions for customer orders (bbora1) or ship-to master records (bbshsa1). It: - Operates in order or ship-to mode based on p$ship. - Uses a subfile to display up to 32 records, with navigation via function keys (F03, F10, F12). - Validates customer and order/ship-to data, retrieving names for display. - Applies file overrides based on p$fgrp ('G' or 'Z'). - Includes minimal error handling and no update functionality.

The program integrates with arcust, bbora1, bbordh, bbshsa1, and shipto files, using system APIs for file and message handling. The commented-out logic suggests potential for additional features (e.g., search, selection options) that are currently disabled.
