name (no default)

The name option is used for DATA-GEN.

The name option specifies the name to be used for the top-level of the generated document for the DATA-GEN operation. The name is passed to the generator in the same case as it is specified for the option.

For example, for the following DATA-GEN operation, the name passed to the generator as the name of the top-level item is “Orders”.

Without the “name” option, the name passed to the generator would be “Rec”, which is the name specified for the definition of the data structure, in the same mixed-case form as the name was specfied.

DCL-DS Rec LIKEDS(orders_t);
...
DATA-GEN rec %DATA(filename : 'doc=file name=Orders') %GEN('MYPGM');
