The Dictionary DICTPDE Utility

>GENERATE COMAREA

Generates the PASCAL data structures for the VPLUS COMAREA.

Prompts

GENERATE COMAREA does not issue any additional prompts. DICTPDE will begin

generating the VPLUS COMAREA as soon as the GENERATE COMAREA

command-subcommand is entered.

Discussion

GENERATE COMAREA allows you to generate the TYPE, CONST and VAR declarations

for the VPLUS COMAREA. (The COMAREA is the data area which must be allocated in a

program to be able to call VPLUS procedures.) GENERATE COMAREA generates the

basic structure of the COMAREA. This command-subcommand does not extract any data

deﬁnitions from the Dictionary to generate this COMAREA data structure. The generated

data structures are the same as the data structures shown in the PASCAL/3000 Reference

Manual. (See the PASCAL/3000 Reference Manual for more information on PASCAL and

the VPLUS COMAREA.)
