Diagnosis

The choice of an enhancement category is necessary. The reason is that in programs where there is no active Unicode flag, structure enhancements - in particular for type checks and in connection with deep structures - can cause syntax and runtime errors.

In programs where there is an active Unicode flag, statements, operand checks, and accesses with offset and length are problematic if - for example - numeric or deep components are inserted in a purely character-type structure. In this way the structure loses its character-type nature.

Procedure

In the following dialog box, choose an enhancement category for the structure:

  • Cannot be enhanced

    The table/structure must not be enhanced.

  • Can be enhanced and character-type

    All the structure components and their enhancements must be character-type.

  • Can be enhanced and character-type or numeric

    The structure and its enhancement must not contain any deep data types.

  • Can be enhanced in any way

    The structure and its enhancement may contain components whose data type can be of any type at all.

If you are uncertain here, read the section entitled Enhancement Category .

Also read the explanations in the online manual (pushbutton i on the following dialog box).
