Issue/Introduction

Generating exported source on the Telon PWS release 5.1, how may this be compiled and linked?  Is the Telon Application Generator needed on the mainframe as well?

 

Environment

Telon Application Generator, release 5.1

Resolution

Exported source may be generated under the Telon 5.1 PWS.  This will create the COBOL source code.  

Then we have two choices, and both do involve the Telon Application Generator release 5.1 on the mainframe:

1. Export your source and bring it to the mainframe, where it will be generated again and compiled.  Please ensure that your macros on the pc are in sync with the macros on your mainframe.

or

2. Generate on the pc and bring your cobol program to the mainframe, where it will be compiled and executed. Compilation and execution are done on the mainframe.

The Telon Application Generator 5.1 PWS is used mainly to design in the TDF as well as generate there on that platform.
