Source Code Generation

The two phases in application system construction are:

The system generation and installation functions create an application system's source code and the executable components. During the source code generation, CA Gen generates COBOL source code, MFS source for online IMS systems, and JCL for batch jobs. The COBOL source must be generated for all required components of a load module before the load module can be installed.

The generated source modules are stored in the business system's Internal Source Code library.

Important! Do not modify the generated source code. Always change the related action diagrams, views, and screens, and regenerate the source. The results after installation are unpredictable if you modify the generated source code.

You can generate systems in the foreground or can generate a batch job to run in the background.

The Installation Control Generator creates an Install Control file that controls the installation procedures. Each load module is installed individually from a single Install Control file.
