Generation and Implementation: An Introduction › Performance Considerations › Suppressing Help Text

Suppressing Help Text

By suppressing help text generation until after all of your modifications to a function are complete, you save generation time. To turn off help generation for the model, set the YGENHLP model value to *NO using the YCHGMDLVAL command. You can also override this model value at the function level using the Generate help function option.

When ready to generate help text for a specific function, you can set the help text function option to Y (*YES) or O (*ONLY) for that function, then generate/compile.

• *YES—Generates and compiles help and other function components.
• *ONLY—Generates and compiles only the UIM help text for the function. Use the *ONLY option only when all development on the compiled function is complete.
