Creating and Managing Your Model › Creating a CA 2E Design Model › Generation Library Name

Generation Library Name

The model generation library contains CA 2E generated source and compiled objects.

You specify the name for the generation library with the GENLIB parameter. You can create the name yourself or you can accept the default and allow to create the name from the model library name according to the following rules:

• If the model library name contains the characters "MDL," CA 2E drops these characters and replaces them with "GEN." For example, if you name the model library "INVMDLR40," CA 2E creates the name "INVGENR40" for the generation library.
• If the model library name does not contain "MDL," CA 2E appends "GEN" to the model name. For example, if the name of the model library is "INVNTRY," creates the name "INVNTRYGEN" for the generation library.
• If the model name is more than seven to nine characters in length,CA 2E truncates the suffix. If the model name is ten characters or more,CA 2E sends an error message on model creation.
