When you define a Program, you specify its main characteristics.
By default, the generated COBOL files are stored with the design files in a root folder whose default name you can change. You can separate them from the design files or even change the generation project and folder.
The project of the corresponding design file is the default project. If it has been kept, Default is displayed between parentheses next to the project. However, if it has been explicitly changed in the instance, only the project is displayed here, without any other indication. If it has been explicitly changed in the generation Library, Inherited from Library is then displayed between parentheses next to the project. In the instance, you can overwrite the value that is inherited from the Library.
You can select a new project by clicking the symbol or the Change COBOL project and folder button.
If you change the project, it will be taken into account upon the next generation.
The folder of the corresponding design file is the default folder. If it has been kept, Default is displayed between parentheses next to the folder. However, if it has been explicitly changed in the instance, only the folder is displayed here, without any other indication. If it has been explicitly changed in the generation Library, Inherited from Library is then displayed between parentheses next to the folder. In the instance, you can overwrite the value indicated in the Library.
If the default folder has been kept, you can specify a root path for the generated files in the Properties wizard (accessed by clicking the Change project properties button). This path will be automatically inserted in this field, at the beginning of the folder.
You can select a new folder by clicking the symbol or the Change COBOL project and folder button.
If you change the folder, it will be taken into account upon the next generation.
Expand the appropriate project and select a folder or create a folder. Click OK. The selected folder and project are then automatically displayed in the corresponding fields here.
It is the default option. It provides the general structure of an iterative structure: beginning of loop (F05), end of run (F20), end of loop (F9099. GO TO F05).
This option does not provide an iterative structure: no beginning of loop (F05), no end of run (F20), no end of loop (F9099. GO TO F05).
It is the default value. The Data Element is present if its value is not blank.
The Data Element is present if its value is not zero.
The Data Element is present if it does not contain low values. This option is available for alphabetic and numeric Data Elements.
If you select this option, the SQL indicators will be generated as: V-XXNN-DELCO.
If you do not select this option, the SQL indicators will be generated as: VXXNNDELCO.
