Description
Enter up to three lines of text to describe the function of this server. The first few
words (approximately 40 characters) of this description are shown when you list this
server on the Server Value List screen.
Generation Options
Enter information to specify how how you want the server to be generated.
Skeleton File
Displays either the logical (DEFINE) name or file name of the server skeleton file that
the Pathmaker product uses to generate the COBOL or C server program.
Enter any valid disk file name to change the default name in this field. Copy the
server skeleton to the file you specify in this field so that you can generate the server.
The default for this field is a DEFINE name: =_COBOL_SERVER_SKELETON for
COBOL servers or =_C_SERVER_SKELETON for C servers. The COBOL server
default maps to the server skeleton file, SERVSKL; the C server default maps to
CSERVSKL. These skeleton files reside in the subvolume where the object files for this
Pathmaker version reside. The mapping for the DEFINE name is automatically
included in the Pathway project configuration.
Generated Source
Enter the name of the file where the Pathmaker product stores the COBOL or C source
code that it generates for the server.
This source code file name must be a valid file name, but it need not be fully qualified.
When you add or update this server, the Pathmaker product uses the work subvolume
and shows the fully qualified name in this field.
Assign each server its own unique source file; otherwise, you could overwrite your
own files.
Object File
Enter the name of the file that is to hold the compiled COBOL or C code for the server.
The object file name must be a valid file name, but it need not be fully qualified. When
you add or update this server, the Pathmaker product uses the work subvolume and
shows the fully qualified name in this field.
Assign each server its own unique object file.
Compile
Enter Y or N:
Y To compile the source code file. This is the default value.
N To generate a source code file, but not compile it yet.
No object code is produced after the server source code is generated.
