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.

To be recognized, a micropattern must be entered as a comment with a special format. It must include a start tag, an identifier, the content lines themselves, and an end tag. 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:
You can specify micropatterns in the following generated COBOL files:
