This command is used to catalog, check, save or stow all objects or selected objects in the current library.
The following topics are covered:
CATALL |
When you issue this command, the Catalog Objects in Library window appears. In this window, you specify which types of objects are to be processed. Objects are processes in the order in which the object types are listed in the dialog box. Additionally, you can choose which action is to be performed and which objects are to be processed.
You can make the following specifications in the window:
| Starting from | Enter an asterisk (*) if you want to process all objects of
the selected types in the current library.
If you want to restrict the number of objects to a certain range, you can use asterisk notation for the name. |
|---|---|
| Apply action only to existing modules | If you mark this option, only those objects for which object modules already exist in the current library will be cataloged again; objects that exist only in source form will not be processed. |
| Apply action to all sources | If you mark this option, all selected objects will be processed. |
| Action | After pressing PF2, you can select one of the
following actions to be applied to the selected objects:
These actions correspond to the system commands of the same names. Note: |
| Renumber source 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. |
| Object types | By default, CATALL applies to
objects of all types in the current library (all object
types are marked with an X). If you wish objects of a certain type
not to be affected by
CATALL, overwrite the corresponding X
with a blank.
|
| Generate new map source | Maps created with previous Natural versions are not necessarily compatible with Natural Version 3.1 and above. Mark this option to ensure that maps are converted during the catalog operation. This option converts and stores maps in source and object form. |
During CATALL processing, a statistics
window appears and the objects being cataloged are listed.
Caution:
If you press any key while CATALL
processing is in progress, CATALL will be
stopped.
Upon successful completion of processing, an information message is displayed.
If an object was not cataloged successfully, a window showing the object name, error number and error line is displayed.
If the CATALL command is called from within
a Natural program with stacked parameters, Natural assumes batch mode and does
not display the error dialog in case of compilation errors. Instead of the
dialog a file will be created in Natural's temporary directory
(TMP_PATH) with name library.CTL. This file
is empty if no errors are found, otherwise it contains the failed objects with
line number and error code.

For the various specifications you can make in the Catalog
Objects in Library window, there are also corresponding options which you can
specify directly with the system command CATALL:
| object-name |
The name of the object to be cataloged. Enter an asterisk (*) if you want to catalog all objects of the specified types in the current library. If you want to restrict the number of objects to a certain range, you can use asterisk notation for the name. |

Possible types are:
The types have to be specified as

same names on the Catalog Objects in Library
screen.
CATALOG is the default.

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).
