This menu gathers the options used to work with the current program, to document it, to generate the 4GL source and to print the graph.
Warning: this menu is only available when the SSG has been opened for a program.
Save the graphic
This option saves the graph of the current program in the database.
Verify
This option checks the consistency of the current program, and displays the resulting diagnosis in a list. This result can later be printed or saved.
Generate SSG
This option automatically generates the SSG from the 4GL source of the program. It is particularly used when a program is transferred from the AS/400 in order to be modified with Adelia Studio, or when modifications were directly made on the 4GL source.
Build
This option is only active when a program template was associated with the program when it was created.
This option generates both the program template's 4GL source and a graphical representation of the program.
If the program template associated with the program does not contain a Q/A (%xxx) instruction, the program's 4GL source is immediately generated using the program template.
If the program template includes Q/A (%xxx) instructions, the Question/Answer programming interface is activated.
Generate data flow
This option generates the data flow of the program from the entries made in the Screen layout manager, in the dialog box called by the Logical entities option of the Transaction menu in the Screen layout manager.

This option calls the 4GL Editor for the current program.
Generate level 2
This option generates the 4GL source of the program as it is described in the SSG, while taking into account the specifications of the data flow.

Print graph
This option prints the graph of the current model. First, it displays a window asking for the specification of the printing parameters.
The printed pages correspond to the pages displayed on the screen by means of the Display the pages option from the Options menu.
Printing is submitted in the Job Manager.
The printer can be configured by means of the Printer setup option.
