Generation Defaults

Default generation values are set at installation and are displayed in the input screen of any generation function.

Generation functions require that generation default values have been specified. Generation defaults can be changed with code G in the Defaults menu (or with the command DEFAULT) and the external object code. See Generation Defaults in the External Objects in Predict documentation.

The following rules apply for the use of default values for generation parameters:

• Default values of generation parameters can be changed with the function Generation Defaults in the Modify Defaults Menu or the command DEFAULT object code. For example: DEFAULT COBOL displays the Modify COBOL Defaults screen shown below.

• Most default values are displayed in the input screen of the respective generation function and can then be overwritten for temporary use. Changes to default values apply to subsequent generation tasks until another Predict function is executed.

• Generation defaults can be protected by blanking out the X preceding the parameter in Modify ... Defaults screens. Protected default values cannot be changed when executing a generation function. These fields are skipped when positioning the cursor with the TAB key.

• Some defaults values are not displayed in the input screen of a generation function and can therefore only be changed using the Modify Generation Defaults functions. These parameters are described under "Presettings" in the descriptions of individual generation functions in the respective parts of the section Generation in the External Objects in Predict documentation.

Generation Defaults for Language ADA

Generation defaults for language ADA are used by Adabas Native SQL.
