Steps for creating clusters
The steps you should take to create a cluster are listed below. Figure
5-1 provides a visual representation of these steps.
Figure 5-1. Steps for creating clusters
Follow these steps:
Step 1. Determine the stocks the application will use.
Step 2. Create a JSL file and compile it to produce an STK file: Define a
logical mnemonic name (a cluster reference) for each stock (for
instance, COVER in the example below). Associate each cluster
reference with a cluster name easily recognized by the operator as a
particular stock (for instance, CV102 in the example below).
BILLS: STOCKSET ASSIGN=(’CV102’, COVER),
ASSIGN=(’BL231’, BILPAG),
ASSIGN=(’SM233’, SUMMRY);
Step 3. Use the cluster reference rather than the cluster name in .JSL files
and DJDEs. This way you can make cluster stock changes by
modifying the cluster name in the STOCKSET command and
recompiling it. This way, you avoid modifying the data stream or the
application. The cluster reference in JDL files and PDE files thus
remains valid.
