Setting Impact Pane Project Options: Processing Tab

Use the Impact > Processing tab of the Project Options window to specify the variables to filter out of the trace, whether nested data items or redefines are treated as startup items, and whether recursive impacts or controlled dependency relationships are included in the trace.

Choose Options > Project Options. The Project Options window opens. Click the Impact > Processing tab.
Choose any combination of:
- Add to Roots Data Item Subitems if you want the trace to include, as startup items, data items in nested declarations of the startup items.
- Add to Roots Data Item Redefines if you want the trace to include, as startup items, data items that redefine the selected startup items.
- Process Immediate Fields Individually if you want the trace to treat each subitem of the startup item as a root. The startup item is not included in the trace.
- Self-Dependencies if you want the trace to include recursive impacts on data items.
- Controlled Conditions if you want the trace to include controlled dependency relationships for data items, such as that between A and B in IF ... A THEN MOVE... TO B. In this example, B depends on A, since B is assigned a value under the control of a condition that depends on A. Choose:
  - Include Implicit Conditions if you want the trace to include relationships derived from implicit control conditions. In the following example, statement (1) is explicitly controlled by the condition A > 0 because it is nested in the IF statement. Statement (2) is implicitly controlled by the condition because, on the one hand, there is no surrounding IF statement but, on the other hand, control may not reach the statement if the condition is not satisfied:
```
IF A > 0 THEN
MOVE A TO B  (1)
ELSE
GOBACK.
MOVE B TO C.   (2)
```
  - Include Calculation of Conditions if you want the trace to show how the controlling data item is calculated.
In the Variable Name Filters pane, select the patterns that match the names of the variables you want to filter out of the impact trace. Recognized patterns are listed in the pane. Add patterns as necessary. You can use wildcard patterns allowed in LIKE statements by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
