Checking Out Package Components

You can use the list of components in your package to check those components out into your package.

  • If a component was previously checked out or staged from development into your package, the current staging library member is overlaid by the new component you check out from baseline or promotion.

  • If you copied a package forward when you created your package, the list of components from the package you specified is copied into your new package. However, the components in that list are not copied into staging libraries for your package, and the status of the components listed in your package is INACTIVE. When you use this list to check out components, there is nothing to overlay.

The general rule still applies that if a component in your package is in CHECKOUT status, you cannot check the component out again into your package until you stage or delete the component.

On the Checkout Option panel, select Option 2 Package to display the Checkout: package Components panel (CMNCKOTS).

Note that RECOMP is displayed in the Procname field if the component has been recompiled in the source package.
