GENERATE
Generates PASCAL data declarations for the entities defined in the
Dictionary.
Syntax
GENERATE subcommand
G
Use the GENERATE command to extract data definitions from the Dictionary
and to generate the corresponding PASCAL data declarations. This command
is also used to generate the data structures for the VPLUS defined
COMAREA and the data structures for the IMAGE parameters. (See the
GENERATE COMAREA and the GENERATE IMAGEPARMS command-subcommands
discussed later in this section.)
The subcommand identifies the entity to be extracted from the Dictionary.
Each GENERATE command-subcommand issues a prompt which allows you to
specify the entity name, except for GENERATE COMAREA. GENERATE COMAREA
does not issue any prompts. A complete list of subcommands is given
below.
The data declarations and COMAREA generated by the GENERATE command are
echoed to the terminal and written to an output file (DICTOUT by
default). The data declarations for a specified entity and the COMAREA
data structure can be generated only once to an output file.
Subcommands
The following subcommands can be used with the GENERATE command:
COMAREA generates the data structures for the
VPLUS
C COMAREA.
ELEMENT extracts element definitions from the
dictionary and
E generates the corresponding data
declarations.
FILE extracts file definitions from the
dictionary and
F generates the corresponding data
declarations.
IMAGEPARMS generates the data structures for the
IMAGE
I parameters.
The following gives a discussion of each of the subcommands used with the
GENERATE command and the prompts that they generate.
