This tab contains three subtabs. In the -GC
Lines, you enter comments on the Program. In the -GO
Lines, you specify the generation options of the Program.
In the -GE Lines, you indicate explicit error
messages for the errors that are detected by specific controls.
-GC Lines
These lines are used for documentation purposes.
You can write or edit text in relation to the selected instance. You
can write, modify, move, or delete text lines by using the standard
word-processing functions.
You can add a
line in two ways:
- Error
- This column displays a dot on all the existing description lines
that are not empty.
Moreover, if this line is not correct, this
column also displays an error or warning symbol, depending on the
severity of the error. A hover help indicates the source of the error.
- Type
- You can select one of the following values:
- No value or * to insert a standard documentation
line,
- A on a Segment only, to insert an alias
for the Segment name.
This column displays a value I on
all the Input Aid insertions. This value cannot be selected directly.
- Description
- This column can be entered or not according to the inserted line
type:
- If you inserted a comment or an alias line, you must move your
cursor to this column and enter the required information:
- On a line without any line type or with a * line
type, enter a free comment. You can use the standard word-processing
shortcuts to copy, paste, and delete text content in the comment lines.
Double-clicking a word selects the word.
- On an A line type, enter the Segment COBOL
name.
- If you inserted an Input Aid call line, the variable
labels and the symbolic values that are indicated in the selected
Input Aid -D Lines tab are displayed.
- Input Aid
- This column contains the name of a called Input Aid. If you click
the button that is displayed when you click in this column, you can
see the Input Aid description in a detail window. In this window,
you can modify the variable labels and symbolic values.
-GO Lines
In these lines, you enter the
generation options of the Program.
You can add a line in the
table in two ways:

- This column must contain the following information:
- If you inserted an O type line, you must
enter the option name followed by the equals sign (=)
and the option name. To activate an option, enter OPTION=YES (OPTION is

You can specify options to request the following
actions:
- Modify the date transformation function. Date transformation is
managed by default in the F9520 function. However,
if this subfunction contains specific code lines, you must change
its number to prevent overriding these lines. To do so, you must enter DATPRO=ffss,
where ffss is the chosen function-subfunction.
- Break drown the generated dates into elementary fields by entering BREAKDATE=YES (or
inhibit it by entering BREAKDATE=NO if it was
set to YES at the Library level).
- Request a multirow option on Segments by entering MULTIROW=ssss,xxx,
where ssss is a Segment and xxx is
the maximum index.
- If you inserted a * type line, you must
enter the comment.
