Library file
Screen form descriptor file
Execute the "Analyze Dependency" in any one of the following conditions.
The COPY statement is added to or deleted from the COBOL source file.
Execute the "Analyze Dependency" regarding the modified COBOL source files as target.
Select the modified COBOL source file in the "Dependency" view.
Select "Analyze Dependency" > "All" from the context menu.
When one of the following happens with the workspace:
The library file used for projects (COBOL project or COBOL resource project) are added to or deleted from the workspace.
The dependent file is added to or deleted from the library file used for projects (COBOL project or COBOL resource project).
Under the setting of translation option, the reserved folder appointed library file in the translation option LIB or the reserved folder appointed descriptor file in the translation option FORMLIB, is modified.
Execute the "Analyze Dependency" regarding the project that dependency happens in workspace as target in above conditions.

Compiler option.
Point
Following are some merits when executing "Analyze Dependency".
The dependent file can be added to the "Dependent Files" folder automatically.
The dependent file can be modified (updated, saved) from the COBOL project that the COBOL source files of the reference is registered in.
Note
The screen form descriptor that is added as a dependent file can be updated in PowerFORM.
The form descriptor (.SMU/.PMU) used for UTF-32, which is produced with the Descriptor transformation command used for UTF-32, is not the target of "Analyze Dependency". The screen form descriptor (.SMU/.PMU) used for UTF-32 cannot be added to dependent file.
