HP SYSTEM DICTIONARY XL COBOL DEFINITION EXTRACTOR Reference Manual

GENERATE Command 

The GENERATE command starts the COBOL source generation process as
described in Chapter 4.  The dictionary and COBOL copy library must be
open.

Syntax 

     GENERATE {entity-name}
              {;ENTITY-TYPE = entity-type}
              {.}

Parameters 

entity-name      Name of the entity for which source generation occurs.
                 This is the name that is used in the generated code,
                 unless you specify an alias attribute through the ALIAS
                 parameter of the OPTIONS command.  If you specify an
                 alias attribute, SDCDE checks for that alias attribute,
                 and if one exists, uses the alias attribute value in
                 place of the name.

entity-type      Entity type of the specified entity.  Options are:

                      IMAGE-DATABASE
                      IMAGE-DATASET
                      FORMSFILE
                      FORM
                      FILE
                      KSAMFILE
                      RECORD
                      ELEMENT
