1.CDO> SHOW NOTICES EMPLOYEE_REC . . . CDO> CLEAR NOTICES EMPLOYEE_REC In this example, the SHOW NOTICES command displays notices sent to the EMPLOYEE_REC record. You can clear any notices by issuing the CLEAR NOTICES command. 2.CDO> CHANGE FIELD FLD_A cont> DATATYPE IS SIGNED LONGWORD. %CDO-I-DBMBR, database DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]MY_RDB_DB(1) may need to be integrated CDO> SHOW NOTICES MY_RDB_DB DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]MY_RDB_DB(1) is possibly invalid, triggered by entity DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]FLD_A(1) CDO> In this example, CDO sends a notice that a database might require integration as a consequence of the CHANGE command. You can use the SHOW NOTICES command to display this notice at the MY_RDB_DB database definition. 3.CDO> DEFINE FIELD FLD_B cont> DATATYPE SIGNED LONGWORD. CDO> SHOW NOTICES REC_B DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]RDB_REC_B(1) uses an entity which has new versions, triggered by CDD$DATA_ELEMENT DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]FLD_B(1) CDO> SHOW NOTICES MY_RDB_DB DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]MY_RDB_DB(1) uses an entity which has new versions, triggered by CDD$DATA_ELEMENT DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]FLD_B(1) DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]MY_RDB_DB(1) is possibly invalid, triggered by CDD$DATA_ELEMENT DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]FLD_A(1) When you create a new version of the FLD_B field definition by using the DEFINE FIELD command, CDO sends new version notices to the parents of FLD_B. The following set of examples shows this sequence of events: 1. The DEFINE FIELD command creates a new version of the FLD_B field definition. 2. The first SHOW NOTICES command shows that FLD_B's immediate parent, REC_B record definition received the new version notice when CDO created the new version of FLD_B. 3. The second SHOW NOTICES command shows two notices at the MY_RDB_DB CDD$DATABASE definition. The CHANGE command sends one notice on behalf of the FLD_A field definition from the previous example, and the DEFINE FIELD command sends a new version notice on behalf of the new version of the FLD_B field definition. 4.CDO> CLEAR NOTICES MY_RDB_DB CDO> SHOW NOTICES MY_RDB_DB %CDO-I-NONOTICES, DISK1:[SMITH.DICT]MY_RDB_DB(1) has no notices To clear the notices at MY_RDB_DB, use the CLEAR NOTICES command. To verify that you cleared the notices at MY_RDB_DB, use the SHOW NOTICES command. If you ask to see the notices at a definition without notices, CDO responds that there are no notices.
