Generating PSBs

Once you have generated the DBDs you need to generate the PSBs. To generate PSBs you must first have added them to your project.

Note: When you build a project, the non-COBOL files are built in the order in which they were added to the project. To ensure that a project's DBD files are genned before its PSB files you must add the DBD files to the project before the PSB files.

Generating a PSB updates the following files:

psbname.acb
psbgen3.dat

These files contain PSB source information that has been extracted and formatted into a smaller structure optimized for faster access during execution. psbgen3.dat is an indexed file and can contain one or more generated PSB members.

When you generate the first PSB you will see message DBDUT0U35U informing you that psbgen3.dat does not exist. Enter C to specify that you want to create psbgen3.dat and message DBDUT0U35U will not be displayed on subsequent PSB generations.

The psbgen3.dat and psbname.acb files are created in the current directory. You need to ensure that you specify the location of these files to the enterprise server that you will be using.
