The Copybook editor
In this editor, you must select the Data Structure or some of its Segments, and specify parameters such as the generation type, the COBOL target, or the format type.
- Overview tab
This tab displays the instance label in a read/write mode. It also displays information that is specific to the instance in a read-only mode and provides an access to the other tabs of the instance. - Definition tab
In this tab, you must complement the information that you entered when you created the Copybook. With this additional information, you specify the content of the generated description. - Selection tab
In this tab, you can select some of the Segments that constitute the Data Structure. By default, the COBOL descriptions that are generated from the Copybooks include all the Segments of the Data Structure. In this tab, you can then limit the number of the Segments that will be present in the description. - -G Lines tab
You can enter comments on the current instance in the -GC Lines subtab. - -CR Lines tab
This tab is shared by all the entities. It contains the links between entities. These links are called "references". In this tab, you can add references that are not already defined in the design of the entities. - Keywords tab
In this tab, you enter new keywords or view the keywords that are already assigned to the instance.
