ENABLE ATTRIBUTES
PATHCOMFILE Attribute
PATHCOMFILE Attribute
The PATHCOMFILE attribute identifies the file to which ENABLE
writes the set of PATHCOM commands it produces. These PATHCOM
commands are used to configure a PATHWAY system under which the
application runs. The syntax of the PATHCOMFILE attribute is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| PATHCOMFILE <file-name> [!] |
| |
| NOTE: APPL must be the object type in effect when you |
| supply a value for this application attribute. |
| |
| <file-name> |
| |
| identifies the name of the file to which ENABLE is to |
| write the generated PATHCOM commands. ENABLE writes |
| <file-name> in edit-type file format. |
| |
| ! |
| |
| indicates that an existing file is to be overwritten. If |
| an edit-type file named <file-name> already exists and |
| you enter the exclamation point symbol, ENABLE writes |
| over the file when a GENERATE command is executed for an |
| application with this value of the PATHCOMFILE attribute. |
| |
| The PATHCOMFILE attribute has neither a starting nor |
| default value. |
| |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Considerations
If you do not supply a value for the PATHCOMFILE attribute,
ENABLE does not generate a PATHCOM command file.
If you do not generate the SCREEN COBOL object code (see the
SCOBOLOBJECT attribute), you will have to edit the PATHCOM
command file before you use it to configure a PATHWAY system. In
this case ENABLE issues a warning message when it generates the
application.
