Generating programs with the short dialog

When you select option 2 from the Program Generator Menu the Generate Programs (Short Dialog) panel displays. This panel can also be reached by issuing the following TSO command:

CALL 'QMFHPO.SRAALOAD(RAAMAIN)' 'CO 2'

The Short Dialog option follows the same procedure as the Full Dialog option. However, it suppresses all panel displays for locating queries and forms, exporting queries, processing Report List entries, generating programs, preparing programs, and running programs. When you press Enter on the Generate Programs (Short Dialog) panel, all specified report programs are generated, prepared, and run according to the default parameter settings and current generation options.

The only panel that will be displayed is the Edit Variables panel. If any query specified as input uses substitution variables, or if the input to the generation process is a procedure that contains SET GLOBAL commands, the Edit Variables panel will be displayed allowing values to be specified for all substitution variables.

Note:
This form of generation is recommended only for the more advanced user because a potentially large amount of processing can take place without any opportunity for interruption.

If you press Enter, all input fields will be validated. If any errors are detected during input validation, the panel will be redisplayed with an error message. Otherwise, the entire program generation process will be performed.
