This section describes the Code Generation component supplied with NaturalONE and how to access the code generators. The Code Generation component provides wizards that generate the following modules:
| Modules | Code Generator | Description |
|---|---|---|
| REQUEST-DOCUMENT subprogram and corresponding parameter data areas | REQUEST-DOCUMENT Client | Uses REQUEST DOCUMENT and PARSE XML statements to call an external Web service and interpret the response. |

| Object-browse subprogram and corresponding parameter data areas | Object Browse | Provides the browse functionality for a Natural object. |
| Object skeleton subprogram | Object Skeleton | Provides a starting point to create an object subprogram. |
The generated subprograms include a full range of user exits. For information about adding custom code within user exits, see Defining User Exits.
