Reference

This documentation describes the basic functions of Predict. It contains all the information needed for processing documentation objects. It is organized in the following parts:

Predict Commands All Predict commands and how they are used. This section provides a summary of all functions and screen input fields. It gives you an overview of the functionality of Predict and shows which object types can be used with the individual functions.
Maintenance All general maintenance functions. Type-specific maintenance functions are described in the respective sections of the Predefined Object Types in Predict documentation.
Editors in Predict Editors available for processing attributes of objects in Predict. This section also describes the transfer of Predict text attributes to and from an external environment.
Retrieval Describes the general retrieval functions. The type-specific functions are described in the respective sections of the Predefined Object Types in Predict documentation.
Active Retrieval Active Retrieval functions evaluate XRef data together with Predict documentation data to find differences between the implementation and documentation of an application. This section describes all the available options. If you are working with Natural steplibs, see also section Steplib Support in the Predict and Other Systems documentation.
SYSHELP Active Help System for your Application: How to generate online help for your application from data stored with Predict objects.
LIST XREF for Natural The LIST XREF command for Natural evaluates XRef data for Natural members created when cataloging Natural objects. All options are described in this section.
LIST XREF for Third Generation Languages The Predict LIST XREF functions for third generation languages evaluate XRef data created by Adabas Native SQL, the Predict Preprocessor or the CREATE DBRM command of Natural for DB2. All options are described in this section.
