Formatting the Source File
To create a HELP catalog that is accessible through the MPE XL help user
interface, format the source file with the MAKECAT utility.
The MAKECAT utility takes its input from the file INPUT and outputs to
the file HELPCAT. You can redirect these files. When you run the MAKECAT
utility, you use the HELP entry point.
For example, if your source file is called MYSOURCE and you want your
HELP catalog to be called MYHELP, you use MAKECAT to build a HELP catalog
by entering:
:FILE INPUT=MYSOURCE
:RUN MAKECAT.PUB.SYS, HELP
END OF PROGRAM
:RENAME HELPCAT,MYHELP
If a file named HELPCAT exists prior to running MAKECAT, MAKECAT will
abort with the messages:
** FILE ERROR ON CATALOG (100)
PROGRAM TERMINATED IN ERROR STATE. (CIERR 976)
