This command is used to catalog (compile) and store single or multiple Natural objects in the current Natural library.
When you enter the CATALL command without any additional
options, the Catalog Objects in Library screen is displayed, which you
use to perform the functions described below. You can also issue the
CATALL command directly using the command syntax shown above.
CATALL processes all objects in the order in which the object
types are listed on the Catalog Objects in Library screen (see also the
information for TYPES in the section
Direct Command Syntax).
You can also select functions on the Catalog Objects in Library screen
by default using the subprogram CATALLU2. In addition you may enable
CATALLU2 to be called in batch or command mode. The subprogram is delivered
as a source object in library SYSTEM (FNAT). To activate the
subprogram, modify it as described in its source, then catalog it and copy it to
SYSLIB. The subprogram is called before the Catalog Objects in
Library screen is output.
See also Object Naming Conventions in the Using Natural documentation.
This document covers the following topics:
If you wish CATALL to be performed for all objects of
the selected types in the current library, specify an asterisk (*) as object name in the
from field.
If you wish CATALL to be performed for a certain range of
objects, you can use asterisk notation (*) and wildcard notation (?) for the name in the
from field, as described for the system command LIST.
You can also specify a start setting and an end setting for a certain range of objects by entering corresponding object names (without asterisk or wildcard notation) in the from and to fields.
Instead of entering settings in these fields, you can also select objects from a selection list.
Moreover, you can use the from field to enter the name of an object
of type text which contains a list of CATALL commands. The
CATALL commands contained in the text will then be executed.
You can either create such a text manually or have it created automatically when you use
the selection list.
If you wish CATALL to be performed for the objects of a
Predict set, specify in Predict Set a one- or two-digit number that
identifies the retained set to be used for the names of the objects to be processed.
CATALL processes all objects in the order in which they are
listed in the Predict set.
If you use a Predict set, the from field and the
to field must not be used. Additionally, you can specify in
Set User the ID of the user who created the Predict set. If no ID
is specified, the value of the system variable *USER is used.
A retained set is created with the save set option of the LIST XREF command.
Note:
Predict has to be installed. For detailed information on Predict sets, refer to the
Predict documentation.
The following applies:
If you mark , only the source objects in the current library that have already been cataloged earlier (a corresponding cataloged object exists) are cataloged.
If you mark , all source objects (with or without corresponding cataloged objects) in the current library are cataloged.
By default, CATALL applies to objects of all types in the
current library (all object types are marked with X).
If you wish objects of a certain type not to be processed by
CATALL, overwrite the respective X with a blank.
You can select one of the following functions to be applied to the selected objects:
SAVE, CATALOG, STOW or CHECK. The functions correspond to the system commands of the
same names.
Note:
Objects of type copycode and text will be saved, even if you select Stow. They will
not be saved, if you select Catalog.
You can select one or more of the following options for CATALL
processing:
| Condition Code in Batch | If you execute CATALL in batch mode and mark this
option with a character, Condition Code 55 will be returned either if a syntax
error is detected during CATALL execution or if no
objects are found within the specified range of objects to be processed (applies
to CATALOG and
STOW
only).
|
| Renumber Source-Code Lines | By default, the source-code lines of sources that were saved or stowed are
also renumbered.
If you wish no automatic renumbering of lines, overwrite the X in this field with a blank. |
| Keep Result List | CATALL generates a result list. If you wish to
keep this list for further use, mark this field with a character.
The library
You can also re-display the result list with another

| Processing Information | During online processing, CATALL shows a
scrolling display of processing status information.
During batch processing,
To suppress this display, overwrite the X in this field with a blank. |
| Error Report | At the end of processing, CATALL displays a list
of the errors that occurred.
To suppress this error list, overwrite the X in this field with a blank. |
| Extended Error Report | The error report will be output in extended form, with directory information,
error line and error message.
To output the Extended Error Report, mark this field with an X. |

If you wish to use CATALL only for certain objects, you can
select these objects from a selection list.
To do so, first make the desired specifications under Select Function and Select Options, and then press PF5. A list of the objects stored in the current library is displayed.
The list corresponds to that of the system command LIST. Scrolling the selection list and the
specification of new selection criteria on the list is also done in the same way as with
the LIST command.
On the list, select the desired objects by marking them with a character in the column Cmd. To simultaneously select all objects of the current selection list, press PF5. You can then scroll the list, specify other selection criteria, and select further objects.
When you have selected all objects you wish to process, press PF3.
A window is displayed which allows you to store the selected set of objects so that you
can re-use it in other CATALL processing:
If you enter a name in the window, the selected set of objects will automatically be
stored (in the form of CATALL commands) in an object of
type text of that name. You can later use that text name in the field Catalog Objects from
of the Catalog Objects in Library screen.
If this is not desired, press ENTER without entering anything in the window.
CATALL will then begin to process the selected objects.
For the various specifications you can make on the Catalog Objects in
Library screen, there are also corresponding options which you can specify
directly with the system command CATALL:
object-name TO
object-name |
Corresponds to the fields Catalog Objects from and to of the Catalog Objects in Library screen, see Catalog Objects from/to. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
{XSET / XREFSET}
set-number |
Corresponds to the field Predict Set of the Catalog Objects in Library screen, see Predict Set and Set User. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[SETUSER set-user] |
Corresponds to the field Set user of the Catalog Objects in Library screen, see Predict Set and Set User. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
RECAT / ALL |
Corresponds to the options Select cataloged source objects
only (RECAT) and Select all source
objects (ALL) of the Catalog Objects in
Library screen.
See also Select Cataloged Source Objects Only, or Select All Source Objects. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
TYPES
types |
Corresponds to the object types listed on the Catalog Objects in
Library screen. Possible types (processed
in the order below) are:
The types have to be specified as one
character string, for example, |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SAVE / CATALOG / STOW /
CHECK |
Corresponds to the actions of the same names on the Catalog Objects
in Library screen, see Select Function. CATALOG is the
default.

|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
text-name |
Corresponds to specifying a text name in the Catalog Objects from field of the Catalog Objects in Library screen, see Catalog Objects from/to. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Examples:
To stow only source objects for which a cataloged object already exist
Enter the following command:
CATALL * STOW KEEP CC NOREN
The above command is with implicit RECAT and has the same effect as
the following command.
CATALL * RECAT STOW KEEP CC NOREN
To stow all objects
Enter the following command:
CATALL * ALL STOW KEEP CC NOREN
Note:
The individual command components must be separated from one another either by a
blank or by the input delimiter character (as defined with the session parameter ID).
