The HTML generator generates a Markup Language Skeleton (MLS) page (known simply as a skeleton) for each CA 2E screen (panel). This skeleton contains both standard HTML tags and Web Option-specific tags. Skeletons are generated as members in a source file on the IBM i, where they remain during their use by Web Option. Skeletons can be edited post-generation, either using a third party tool such as Microsoft FrontPage or manually using e.g. SEU or any other IBM i source member editing tool.
The YGENMLS (Generate Markup Language Skeleton) command allows you to generate one or more skeletons for a specific function (one skeleton is generated per screen). The generator identifies the screen from the Data Description Specifications (DDS) source member and retrieves data about it from the CA 2E model. It uses information about the CA 2E function, the display screen, and other model- and system-level information to generate the skeleton source member in a file called YMLSSRC. At runtime, this skeleton is retrieved from YMLSSRC and is merged with live data to produce the HTML page that is sent to the browser.
