1 2 'BL' Type of block not retrieved
    'CS' Special character

'PF' Indicates whether to retrieve the Programs or Screens that contain PAF operators. By default, they are retrieved. Add a PF line with the value NO in position 3 not to retrieve them.
    'UR' Recognized Data Element usage
'VO' Authorized types of COBOL to generate for Screens (2)
'VP' Authorized types of COBOL to generate for Programs (2)
'VS' Authorized types of COBOL to generate for C/S entities (2)

3 78   Value of the parameter

This file contains the standard parameters provided at installation to allow the procedure to complete the necessary checks.

In this file, you can add special characters to be searched for. To do so, add a CS-type line with the character to be searched for.

(1) The MT parameter is used to force the retrieval of Meta Entities with a code 7N (Endevor), 7M (Environment), or 5Q (Quality) and the retrieval of Pacdesign Meta Entities (use the DS value). Only these four values on 2 characters are taken into account.

(2) By default, the authorized values of the COBOL types to generate are the following:

You can replace them with the values indicated in each parameter. You must indicate all the COBOL types to be recognized in each parameter.

If several lines exist for the same type, only the last line is taken into account.
Note: It is not necessary to sort the parameter file. Any unknown value is ignored. Parameters can be removed.
