CATALOG

CATALOG [object-name [library-id]]

Related commands: SAVE | STOW.

This command is used to catalog (compile) the source code currently in the work area of a Natural editor and (if the syntax has been found to be correct) store the resulting cataloged object in the current Natural system file.

Important:
The CATALOG command cannot be used if the profile parameter RECAT has been set to ON; in this case, use the STOW command to compile and store the object.

`CATALOG`	If you do not specify an `object-name`, the object is cataloged in the current library under the name of the object last read into the source work area (for example, with `EDIT` or `READ`). An existing object code will be replaced.
`CATALOG object-name`	A new object is created. As `object-name`, you specify the name under which the new object is to be cataloged. It is stored in the current library. If the object exists, the command is rejected.
`CATALOG object-name library-id`	If you want the new object to be cataloged into another library, you must specify the `library-id` of that library. If the object exists, the command is rejected.

Note:
If an FDIC system file is specified in the parameter file which is not valid, Natural will display an appropriate error message when the CATALOG command is issued.
