You can generate the batch and online error messages, the
Copybooks related to a selected Data Structure, the design of the Pacbase generatable entities,
and initialize the files which are to contain the code lines of Macros.
Generating the batch error messages
After you have modified the automatic error messages or
added explicit messages in the -GE Lines of
the Data Element calls in the Segment -CE Lines,
you must generate them so that they get recognized by the applications.
Generating the online error or help messages
After you have indicated error or help messages in the -GE
Lines of Dialogs or Screens (or the Data Element -D
Lines tab for the online help on Data Elements), you must
generate them so that they will be recognized by the applications
of the current repository.
Generating Copybooks
You can generate the COBOL description of Data Structures
in a file.
Generating a Database Block
When you have entered all the required information in a
Database Block editor, you can generate the Database Block.
Initializing a Macro file
From the Generate choice of the Design
Explorer view, you can initialize one .cblgen file
for each Macro selected in the cblgen generation wizard.
This file is to contain the code of the Macro.
