Physical Options Without Names

A line in an option entry must have a name in order to be identified by PowerDesigner. If a physical option does not have any name, you must add a name between angled brackets <> before the option.

For example, the syntax to define a segment in Sybase ASE 11, is as follows:

sp_addsegment segmentname, databasename, devicename

segmentname corresponds to the storage code defined in PowerDesigner, and databasename corresponds to the model code. These two entries are automatically generated. devicename must be entered by the user, and becomes an option.

In SYSTEM11, this option is defined as follows:

Create = execute sp_addsegment %STORAGE%, %DATABASE%, %OPTIONS%
OPTIONS = <devname> %s

Note that a physical option without name must be followed by the %d or %s variable.
