Adding external resources to a Program
External resources are files that are represented by Data
Structures or Reports. To add external resources in a Program, you
must specify their logical and physical characteristics and the way
they are to be used in the Program.
Modifying the internal resources of a batch or online program
The internal resources of a batch or online program are
its work or linkage areas. You can replace their automatically generated
descriptions by calling Data Structures or Data Elements in the work
and linkage areas. To do so, you specify micropatterns directly in
the COBOL code of the generated instance.
Adding or modifying Macro calls
When you call a Macro, its lines are inserted in a batch
or online program. You can then use standard sequences of specific
code several times in the same program or in different program. To
call a Macro, you must select it in the -CP Lines tab.
If it is parameterized, you must assign values to its parameters.
Adding generation options to a Program
If you add generation options to a Program, you can modify
the date transformation function or request the breakdown of the generated
dates.
