Preparing for Generation and Compilation › Verifying Your Generation Library Setup

Verifying Your Generation Library Setup

CA 2E generates source into source files in the generation library (GENLIB) specified by the YGENLIB model value on the Create Model Library (YCRTMDLLIB) command. In general, your GENLIB contains:

• Source files
• Message files
• Data areas (for example, date format)
• CA 2E-shipped objects (for example, values list display)
• Journal and journal receiver
• The objects you created
• You can create additional generation libraries using the Create Generation Objects (YCRTGENOBJ) command.
• If you change the model value YGENLIB using the YCHGMDLVAL command, you must update the YMPHLBA data area in the new library. This data area contains the name of the library into which Help text is generated. This value is usually the name of the Generation library.
• CA 2E also creates an SQL collection in the SQL library (SQLLIB), if specified by the SQLLIB parameter on the YCRTMDLLIB command.

The SQL library can be created at the same time as the model. If it was not, you can set up an SQL library using the Create SQL Library (YCRTSQLLIB) command. This command also updates the YSQLLIB model value with the SQL library name.
