Importing programs from Totem

Totem(TM) is the integrated development environment supplied by CASEMaker.

The following files can be imported:

•	cpf: all items described in AcuBench program files are imported except for reports. (Reports are currently not supported)

•	clf: Data layouts can be imported as well.

The following files cannot be imported:

•	stf: The screen is imported along with the program (cpf). It cannot be imported separately.

•	cwf: Totem project files are not recognized.

•	wtf: The report is imported along with the program (psf). It cannot be imported separately.

•	dmd: Data modeling diagrams are not recognized.

•	skl: Skeleton files for code generation are not recognized by isCOBOL IDE. isCOBOL IDE has its own generation rules.

During the import process:

•	Totem Data Controls are translated into standard GUI controls, since Data Controls are not supported by isCOBOL IDE.

•	The above behavior also applies to Custom Controls, which will not be maintainable in the IDE Screen Designer.

Note - Totem generated paragraphs are maintained in the source code, but their content is moved to the corresponding IDE generated paragraph and they just jump to it.

The best practice for importing Totem programs and their items consists in the following steps, in order:

1.	link custom copy books, if any

2.	import file layouts

3.	import programs

To import a Totem program:

1.	Right click on the project name in the isCOBOL Explorer area.

2.	Choose Import from the pop-up menu.

3.	Choose isCOBOL / AcuBench(c)/Totem(c) Program from the tree.

4.	Browse to find the cpf files, check the ones that you wish to import

If the programs included custom code written outside of the tagged areas, check the option Import Cobol Source with Tagget Areas and provide the directory where the cbl files are stored.

5.	Before clicking on the Finish button you can optionally set one of the advanced options, such as changing the source format, set the action to be performed at program exit or altering the original cell size. Click on the Advanced >> button to show this panel:

6.	The program will appear between your Screen Programs.

Changing the paragraph naming convention

Internal paragraphs such as “Initialize-Routine” are maintained as they are. If you prefer to have isCOBOL names such as “is-initial-routine” for them, or if you prefer to have both names with Totem’s paragraphs redirecting to isCOBOL’s paragraphs (like it happened with previous versions of the IDE)

1.	right click on the program name in the Structural View

2.	choose Properties

3.	choose Screen Program / Source Compatibility

4.	select the paragraph naming convention that you prefer
