This tab contains two subtabs. The -GC Lines subtab is dedicated to the comments on the current Library. In the -GO Lines subtab, you can specify the generation options for your current Library.
These lines are used for documentation purposes. Comments are available with all entities. You can write or edit text in relation to the selected instance. You can write, modify, move, or delete text lines using basic word-processing functions.
Moreover, if this line is not correct, this column also displays an error or warning symbol, depending on the error gravity. A hover help indicates the source of the error.
On a blank-type line, you enter a free comment.
On an A-type line, enter the COBOL Segment name.
Moreover, if this line is not correct, this column also displays an error or warning symbol, depending on the error gravity. A hover help indicates the source of the error.
SCM Import environment
On an option line, you can specify the short code of the SCM import environment recognized upon generation and the application code:
EEE DE RE DEFAULTAPP REQUIREDAP
Date transformation function
The F9520=N option is therefore recommended.
With the opposite option (F9520=Y, default option), the standard F9520 subfunction is not generated; it is overridden by the specific lines entered in F95.
Format of generated indexes
This option applies to the indexes which are generated at the beginning or the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION of Programs, under the 01 INDICES level.
By default, these indexes are formatted according to the value of the Program generation variant. This format is displayed in the generated program, on the 01 INDICES line.
If you want to change this format (to increase the size of these indexes, optimize the processing time...), enter the
Type Description O INDIC=COMPUTATIONAL-3
Generation of cursor update
If you enter the CURSUPDT=YES option, the SQL Select statements are replaced with cursor for update statements in a read for update access.
Breakdown of the generated dates
If you indicate the BREAKDATE=YES option, the Data Elements defined with a date format are generated as elementary fields. These fields correspond to the year, month, day, and separator (if it is included in the date format).
A date is broken down only if the generated COBOL level of the date field is lower than or equal to 47.
If a VALUE has been entered, it is generated in the group field.
Any additional information (such as a value) must be entered on the same line as the Data Element call on I, E or S-type lines on the work areas. If a continuation line has been specified, the date is not broken down.
