Business Function Data Structures

A business function requires a data structure. The data structure defines values passed in and out of the business function. Business function data structures are developed using Data Structure Design. These data structures are created using data items defined in the data dictionary. They are attached to business functions which can be called from Event Rules. All business functions require a data structure, both C business functions and named event rule business functions. The data structure provides the parameters for passing data between the business function and the interactive or batch application. Modifying an existing data structure can have a significant impact on your system. Use the Cross Reference Facility to review all applications that will be affected by modifying the data structure.
