CROSSREF Manual

CROSSREF COMMANDS
GENERATE Command
GENERATE COMMAND
The GENERATE command prints all cross-reference information that
has accumulated since the last GENERATE command or the beginning
of the session and empties the CROSSREF storage buffers. The
syntax of the GENERATE command is:
GENERATE [ / OUT file-name / ]
OUT file-name
identifies a file to receive the cross-reference
listing.
file-name must be a valid GUARDIAN file name.
Considerations
• If you have not issued a SCAN command during the current
session, CROSSREF issues an error message and does not produce
a listing.
• The CROSSREF OUT file is set when you start CROSSREF, but
you can change it during CROSSREF execution using the system
command OUT.
• If you do not specify an OUT file, CROSSREF prints the
information to the current CROSSREF OUT file.
• If you type EXIT without issuing a GENERATE command, CROSSREF
executes an implicit GENERATE command and sends the listing to
the current CROSSREF OUT file.
• If you specify SAVE before entering a GENERATE command, the
current attribute settings remain in effect after CROSSREF
executes the GENERATE command. If you do not issue a SAVE
command, CROSSREF restores all attribute settings to their
initial values after executing the GENERATE command.
