Is there any way to run the Generate function from the command line? I am working on a macro for my editor that numbers/renumbers COBOL paragraphs. This works fine for non-screen programs, but has some issues with screen programs. Specifically, I either have to not renumber any paragraph that is PERFORMed from event code, or modify the event code. Also, I can't renumber the event paragraphs unless I'm also prepared to copy/paste them back in to the event editor, and that has some obvious problems.

What I'd ideally like to do is renumber the entire program including events, then edit the .PSF file (and the .EVT) to reference the newly-renumbered paragraph names. Then, I'd like to regenerate the program.

I think I know how to do all of those things except for regeneration.

Any help?

    From the AcuBench on-line manual, section "3.5.4.3 The command-line interface to AcuBench":-

    Building a single program

    To generate and build a single program in a project, the syntax is as follows:

    [acupath]\\acubench80.exe /build [projectdir]wkspc.pjt prg.psf

    Then no, you can't do it. This feature was added to AcuBench 7.2.
