The Program editor
In this editor, you enter all the characteristics of a Program.
Note: To indicate work areas, you can use micropatterns or
snippets directly in the generated COBOL file.
- Program Overview tab
The Overview tab of a Program displays the label in a read/write mode. It also shows information specific to the instance in a read-only mode and provides access to the other tabs of the instance. - Program Definition tab
When you define a Program, you specify its main characteristics. - -CD Lines tab
The purpose of this tab is to identify the external resources of a Program. These resources are represented by Data Structures. - -CP Lines tab
The purpose of this tab is to call one or more Macros into a Program, Screen, or Server. If these Macros are parameterized, you must also specify the values of their parameters. Each occurrence of the parameter in the original Macro is then replaced by the value that is entered for this particular calling instance. - -CR Lines tab
This tab is shared by all the entities. It contains the links between entities. These links are called "references". In this tab, you can add references that are not already defined in the design of the entities. - -G Lines
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. - Keywords tab
In this tab, you enter new keywords or view the keywords that are already assigned to the instance.
