Guide Section: Processing Object Data | EASAP Tree: DATA PROCESSING Branch

DATA PROCESSING is a Parent for Child DATA PROCESSING Objects. It has no parameters.

DATA PROCESSING can be a Child to the following objects:

• USER INTERFACE→TABBED PANE
• USER INTERFACE→DIAGRAM
• PROCESSES branch
• OUTPUT branch

The availability of objects for referencing is NOT dependent on the location of a DATA PROCESSING on the EASAP Tree. In other words, Child objects under a DATA PROCESSING are 'global” values—they can be used anywhere in the EASAP. However, it is up to the Author to make sure that object values are valid at the time of their usage. This requirement is most often encountered when running software in the PROCESSES branch.
