INTRODUCTION
PATHCOM Command Skeleton File
• Uses the information in the object table to transform the
PATHCOM skeleton file into a PATHCOM command file
General Server
The General Server, ENABLEGS, accesses and updates the data base
files. ENABLEGS can access up to 32 data base files. Although
ENABLEGS is an integral part of the ENABLE environment, it is
available for use as a server with other applications. Details
regarding individualized use of ENABLEGS appear in Appendix E.
Application Program Skeleton File
The application program skeleton file, ENABAPPS, provides the
basis for the SCREEN COBOL source code generated by the program
generator. An application programmer can customize the program
skeleton and use that customized version in the generation
process. Appendix D provides general guidelines for customizing
the program skeleton.
PATHCOM Command Skeleton File
The PATHCOM command skeleton file, ENABPATS, provides the basis
for the PATHCOM command file generated by the program generator.
You can use this command file to configure a PATHWAY system for
execution of the application.
The PATHCOM command file generated by the program generator
selects defaults to ensure that the required PATHWAY parameters
are present. The generated PATHCOM command file causes a PATHWAY
cold start, that is, a start in which no previous PATHWAY
configuration exists.
If the application generated by ENABLE is to be integrated into
an existing PATHWAY system, the existing PATHCOM command file
must be customized. The generated command file can be used as a
starting point.
