You can generate a Program, Screen, or Server.
Before you begin
You can first decide where the files are to be generated.
Refer to the link about the target of the generated files for more
explanations.
For the instances imported from Pacbase, the skeleton language
of the local generation is identical to the Pacbase skeleton language.
This piece of information is retrieved from the extraction of the Pacbase models and from
the import. It is stored on the Library.
Procedure
You can generate instances in different ways: - Right-click a Program, Screen, or Server instance in the Design
Explorer view and select , , or , according
to the entity type of the selected instance.
- Enter an rpp –generate command line from
a command prompt.
- Click
in the Design view
of the instance. To be able to do so, you must have previously generated
the instance a first time and opened its code in the PDP COBOL editor.
Results
A progress information message box is displayed until the
generation is complete.
The generation produces a
.cbl file,
nested under the instance in the
Design Explorer view.
Right-click it and select . You access the COBOL editor and
views from which you can work on the code.
