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
dialog box appears. In this
dialog box, you specify
which types of objects are to be processed. Objects are processed in the order in which
the object types are listed in the dialog box (see also the information for TYPES in the section
CATALL in Batch
Mode). Additionally, you can choose which action is to be performed
and which objects are to be processed.
See also Cataloging the Objects in a Library in Using Natural Studio.
You can make the following specifications in the dialog box:
| 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 cataloged objects exist in the current library will be cataloged again; source objects for which no cataloged objects exist will not be processed. |
| Apply action to all sources | If you mark this option, all selected objects will be processed. |
| Action | 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 not renumbered.
If you wish automatic renumbering of lines, activate this checkbox. |
| Object types | By default, CATALL applies to objects of all
types in the current library (all object types are
activated). If you wish objects of a certain type
not to be affected by
CATALL, deactivate the
corresponding option.
In addition, command buttons are available to select all options or to clear all check boxes. Note |
| 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 as source objects
and as cataloged objects.
When you are working in a remote mainframe development environment using SPoD, this option cannot be used and will be dimmed. |
