ACUbench to autocompile all the programs using a copybook

Hello Kumar,

When you modify a copybook in AcuBench, and you make a build, only the programs using this copybook will be compiled.

You will see in the results for the other programs a message like :

--------- Compiling pgm1.cbl ----------

Skipping pgm1.cbl.  File unchanged since last compilation.

I hope it helps,

Dominique

Hi Dominique,

Thanks for your response. I really appreciate your assistance.

I think my senario is different.

I have a copybok a copy123.lib, I changed this copy book. This copy book is being used by 10 programs.

Currently what we do in the ACUBENCH is copy all the 10 programs manually (locking it) and then compile it to get the ACU.

My question is, instead of copying all the CBL programs to the project, can ACUBENCH fetch the programs automatically from the main sources directory (not the project's one) and compile all the 10 programs which uses the copy book copy123.lib

This was we do not have to lock all the 10 programs, just copy the only one we want to test and the rest shall be compiled at the time of promoting the code to production (which I want to know if ACUBENCH can do).

Hope I am clear with my query now.

Thanks for trying to assist me.

Regards,

Kumar

Kumar,

Try this...

When you are in Acubench, go to Tool, then Options, high-light Code Generator, make sure to uncheck Program file as read-only and copy book as read only under Attributs of generated documents. Save the Options.  When you modify any of the copy books like .evt  .prd , make sure your code is not inside the acubench generated mark up.  For example:  I modify my .cbl to do my written code, examine-report-criteria by insert the perform statement after the {Bench}end, like

       Acu-Main-Logic.

     *{Bench}entry-befprg

     *    Before-Program

     *{Bench}end

          PERFORM Acu-Initial-Routine

     * run main screen

     *{Bench}run-mainscr

     *{Bench}end

          perform examine-report-criteria

          PERFORM Acu-Exit-Rtn

Then compliled it as usual!  Hope this help!

What I do is create a project call lib, where I kept all my copy books, then in each of other project, I add this 123.lib into the copylib folder.  This way when I change the 123.lib, I compiled only my test project and make sure it works first before I recompiled other projects.  Does this help?  

ps  sorry, I just read this.  You can disregard my other comment.  You can contact me through my email if you like to know more.

Command line processing ability added to Acubench. The ability to start Acubench from the command line has been added. This means that users can now create a Windows batch file (sometimes called Windows script file) and place lines in the batch file that will evoke Acubench to load an Acubench Project, build it, and then exit. In addition, all output messages during the build are appended to a file in the project folder named build.log. The time that the build started and the time it ended are recorded in the log together with the build messages.Example:

To evoke Acubench from a Windows batch file the user would enter a line like:

c:\\Acucorp\\Acucbl720\\acubench\\Acubench72.exe /rebuild c:\\localvet\\AcuVet.pjt

(note: option /rebuild or /build can be used and are interchangeable)

This would cause Acubench to load and build the AcuVet project and then exit. All messages during the build would be located in a file named build.log located in the project folder.
