Propagating Business Names

You can propagate the business name for one identifier to a related identifier with an identical meaning in the data flow. Business names can be propagated in either direction of the relationship and transitively:

For the statements MOVE A to B and MOVE B to C, if A has a business name, it is propagated to B and C.
For the statements MOVE A to B and MOVE B to C, if C has a business name, it is propagated to B and A.

No business name is assigned to a variable if it receives values from variables with different business names:

Working-Storage Section.
10 Cust-No  PIC 9(7).
10 Ord-No  PIC 9(7).
10 Display-No  PIC 9(7).

Procedure Division.
...
Move Cust-No to Display-No.
Display Display-No.
Move Ord-No to Display-No.   
Display Display-No.
...

If Cust-No has the business name Customer Number, and Ord-No has the business name Order Number, no business name is assigned to Display-No, since it receives values from variables with different business names.

To propagate business names from all existing business names, choose Glossary > Propagate All. To propagate business names from selected business names, choose a single business name in the Terms pane or multiple business names in the Search Result pane and choose Glossary > Propagate Selected. To propagate only from business names assigned in a specific way, choose Glossary > Propagate <Assignment Method>.
