Generating RECORD Definitions
If you specify RECORD as the entity type in the GENERATE command, then
SDCDE generates a COBOL record definition for the record with the given
entity name. SDCDE issues a prompt requesting the copy library module
name to be assigned to all code generated for the record. The prompt has
the following form:
Module name for RECORD record-name >
If the given module name already exists in the current copy library, the
copy library's OPEN-MODE parameter determines whether to append all
generated code to the existing module or to replace the existing module.
If you enter a [[RETURN]], SDCDE does not generate any code for the
record and the GENERATE command will be complete.
If you specify the ELEM-QUALIFY parameter of the OPTIONS command, SDCDE
responds with one of the following prompts, depending on the value you
specify:
Value Prompt
PREFIX Element prefix >
SUFFIX Element suffix >
NONE No prompt
SDCDE attaches the prefix or suffix characters to all of the elements
contained by the record. If you enter a [[RETURN]], SDCDE does not
attach a prefix or suffix.
When answers to the prompts are complete, SDCDE generates the code in the
specified module for the record definition. If any records explicitly
redefine this record, through the RECORD redefines RECORD relationship,
definitions are generated using the REDEFINES clause.
Example
In the following example, the record name is EMPLOYEE-RECORD and
ELEM-QUALIFY = PREFIX.
Module name for RECORD EMPLOYEE-RECORD > EMPREC
Element prefix > EMP-
000100
000200 01 EMPLOYEE-RECORD-DATA.
000300 05 EMP-NAME-ELEM.
000400 10 EMP-FIRST-NAME PIC X(15).
000500 10 EMP-LAST-NAME PIC X(20).
000600 05 EMP-SS-NUMBER PIC X(10).
000700 05 EMP-POSITION-TITLE PIC X(50).
