Note The Pathmaker product requires DEFs and RECORDs used in C services to be compiled by DDL with the
CFIELDALIGN_MATCHED2 command. As a consequence of this requirement, field alignment of existing
DEFs and RECORDs could change when they are recompiled with the CFIELDALIGN_MATCHED2
command, making them incompatible with services, clients, requesters, and database files that use old
versions of the DEFs and RECORDs.
Table 4-1 provides a check list for creating Pathmaker custom services. You can fill in
the name of three services you are creating on the top line and then check the
appropriate box as you complete each screen or task for the associated service.
