The painter can generate the following types of file:
- BMS macro (.bms) files
- Copybook (.cpy and
.mac) files. Copybooks are generated when you have specified
TYPE=DSECT in the mapset definition or by means of the
SYSPARM build settings.
- Load module mapset (.mod) files. A load module is also known as a
CSECT and is generated when you have specified
TYPE=MAP in the mapset definition or by means of the
SYSPARM build settings.
- Generated files list (.bmsx) file. Used by
Enterprise Developer to keep track of the generated BMS Painter files and their locations. It resides in the same folder as
.mod files.
The painter generates the files using the name that you gave to the mapset. You can specify different filenames using build
settings; see the section
Build Settings for the BMS Painter.
