GENER Options
The Options button on the main launch panel is only available for selection once a CL file has been chosen. The following panel will appear when the Options button is pressed:
Tape file
This field is automatically set to the default tape file name. You can change the name for a single execution of the post-processor, but the settings will not be remembered the next time GENER is launched. The default tape file extension can be changed to a different value using the file_ext_tape DEF file setting. The default directory path can be changed to a different value using the icam_tap environment variable.
Listing file
When checked, this field is automatically set to the default listing file name. When cleared, a log file will be created instead. You can change the name for a single execution of the postprocessor, but the settings will not be remembered the next time GENER is launched. The default listing file extension can be changed to a different value using the file_ext_nclist or html_ext_list DEF file settings depending on whether normal or HTML output is selected. The default directory path can be changed to a different value using the icam_lst environment variable.
Plot file
This field is automatically set to the default back-plot file name. You can change the name for a single execution of the post-processor, but the settings will not be remembered the next time GENER is launched. The default back-plot file extension can be changed to a different value using the file_ext_plot DEF file setting. The default directory path can be changed to a different value using the icam_lst environment variable.
Log file
When checked, this field will be automatically set to the default log file name. When cleared, a listing file will be created instead. You can change the name for a single execution of the post-processor, but the settings will not be remembered the next time GENER is launched. The default log file extension can be changed to a different value using the file_ext_log DEF file setting. The default directory path can be changed to a different value using the icam_lst environment variable.
Trace in Listing
Enables the tracing of various types of data in the listing file.
CL Records: If selected, CL file records will be shown in the listing file as they are read.
Error messages: If selected, diagnostic messages will include a trace-back showing the macro command (if any) that was being executed when the diagnostic occurred.
Regular macros: If selected, macro commands originating from the post-processor will be shown in the listing file as they are processed.
Before and after macros: If selected, macro commands originating from CAM interface kits will be shown in the listing file as they are processed.
Also include information about…
Enables the display and tracing of additional types of data.
Original input source lines: If selected, CL file records will be shown in the listing file and the verbose display in their original input format whenever possible. By default, GENER displays and traces CL file data in an ICAM standard format. This setting only has an effect when a record is first read. Records that are re-read following a look-ahead or CL file repositioning, will always be shown in their standard format.
Look ahead processing, curve fitting and $FGET search: If selected, tracing will also be enabled during all forms of look-ahead. Select this only when debugging macros that use the look-ahead features of GENER.
