Key Characteristics
-
- Input-driven: Relies on predefined specifications, source code, control statements, macro libraries, or database schemas as input.
- Automated Process: Typically executed by system utilities, compilers, assemblers, or specialized generation tools (e.g., CICS BMS utility, DB2 DCLGEN).
- Output-focused: Produces tangible outputs such as executable load modules, system configuration files, data sets, reports, program stubs, or copybooks.
- Transformation: Involves transforming one form of input (e.g., source code, high-level definition) into another (e.g., object
