Micropatterns with a strong added value

These micropatterns are specific code operators with a strong added value. You enter them in the COBOL code of an instance with the PDP COBOL editor, or in the code of a Macro with the Macro editor. When the instance is generated again, they are recognized and are expanded with information fetched from the instance design or from the use context.

Note: Some micropatterns with a strong added value are also available as snippets. Snippets display an input aid or wizard to specify the declaration lines of the corresponding micropatterns.

To be recognized, a micropattern must be entered as a comment with a special format. It must include a start tag, an identifier, and the content lines themselves. The identifier and the content lines are specific to each micropattern.

Micropatterns are divided into two types:
The code generated from the micropattern is automatically updated upon each generation if the following conditions are met:
You can specify micropatterns in the following generated COBOL files:
