ENABLE Reference Manual

ENABLE COMMANDS
SET Command
TREE ENABLE uses "(01 <application-name>-BOX)" as the
default value of this attribute. ENABLE obtains
this value by appending the four characters -BOX to
the application name specified in the ADD APPL
command.
Note that ENABLE uses the value of the TREE attribute to
determine which box is associated with an application. If ENABLE
supplies a default value for the TREE attribute, ENABLE checks to
see if a box with the default name exists. If the box exists,
ENABLE uses it for the application. If the box does not exist,
ENABLE adds a box with the default name.
Application Attributes. Application attributes define
characteristics that are global to an application, such as:
• The name of the PATHCOM command file
• The title that appears on the first line of the terminal
screen
• The name and location of the skeleton files and SCREEN
COBOL compiler
For a multifile application, you must set a value for the
TREE attribute--the application attribute that associates
added boxes with an application.
When you supply a value for an application attribute, you must
include the keyword APPL if APPL is not the default object type.
Table 4-1 summarizes the application attributes.
Box Attributes. Box attributes describe the characteristics of
the box that represents a particular data base file. To provide
a minimum description of a box, you must set a value for the
RECORD attribute.
To maintain compatibility with a previous version of ENABLE, you
can set a box attribute even if the default object type is APPL.
This means that you can omit the object type parameter whenever
you set a box attribute. Table 4-2 summarizes the box
attributes.
