Online System Generation

The Compiler Uses a Text Editor

When executing online, the system generation compiler uses a text editor that operates independently of the compiler. The text editor writes input to and output from the compiler to a work file allocated for each online session. The contents of the work file are displayed at the terminal. You can manipulate and modify the contents of the work file by using the text editor commands. Instructions for using the text editor are presented in the CA IDMS Common Facilities Guide.

Invoking the Online Compiler

You can invoke the online system generation compiler under the transfer control facility (TCF). TCF allows you to switch between the system generation compiler and other CA IDMS online development tools without terminating the current compiler session. Instructions for using TCF are presented in the CA IDMS Common Facilities Guide.
