Inter-application links

Specifies whether or not to use inter-application links for cross-reference usage. The list of applications linked to the current application is obtained by examining the links defined in the application's descriptive parameters (found using the command ADSPAPPINT). The possible values are:

• *NONE: The inter-application links are not used. Only the components present in the interrogating application are known.
• *USE: The inter-application links are used to simulate the real usage context for components. The link is made towards the applications used or with a reciprocal link. In the case of a component homonym, only the first one found is taken.
• *ALL: The inter-application links are used to determine all the applications concerned by a component. The link is made in all directions (applications used or using the current application or reciprocal link). In the case of a component homonym, all the applications of this component are displayed, in the order defined in the inter-application links.

Link type

*SIMILAR displays links resulting from component copies.

*INCLUDE displays COPY clause type links

*L4GL3G displays the 3rd and 4th generation languages links types.

*ALL Displays all link types for the selected component.

Usage type

*USED Only downloads the explicitly used fields from among the referenced fields.

*UPD Only downloads the updated fields from among the referenced fields.

*IMPL Only downloads the explicitly and implicitly used fields from among the referenced fields.

*ALL Downloads all referenced fields.

Sort

*ALPHA to display Alpha types fields first.

*LINE to display the result in the lines' order.
