System Generation Compiler › Compiler-Directive Statements › VALIDATE Statement

VALIDATE Statement

The VALIDATE statement directs the system generation compiler to cross-check the relationships between entities in a system definition. You must establish system currency before you submit a VALIDATE statement.

You can issue a VALIDATE statement to ensure that a correct system definition exists before processing continues. A system is not executable, however, nor do component entities participate in an executable system, until the compiler successfully processes a GENERATE statement for the system.
