Starting Program Generator

About this task

You can start this facility from a normal TSO/ISPF session or from a QMF session under TSO/ISPF. Starting from within a QMF session allows you to work with any current QUERY, FORM, or PROCEDURE object.

To start Program Generator from TSO/ISPF, select option 1 from the Compiler Selection menu. You can also invoke this facility by issuing the following TSO command:


CALL 'QMFHPO.SRAALOAD(RAAMAIN)' 'CO'

To start Program Generator from QMF, run the following QMF procedure:


TSO CALL 'QMFHPO.SRAALOAD(RAAMAIN)' 'CO'

Additionally, you can build a command synonym that runs this procedure so that users can access the procedure fully qualifying its name (see Run programs for more information). A QMF command synonym named RCO is created during the standard installation process so that you can invoke this facility from QMF.
