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: 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. They are available from the Rational Developer for System z Snippets view, in the RPP snippets or RPP Macro snippets category

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:
