Module name for ELEMENT element-name >
If the given module name already exists in the current copy library, the copy library's OPEN-MODE
parameter determines whether to append all generated code to the existing module or to replace the
existing module. If you enter a [[RETURN]], SDCDE does not generate any code for this element and the
GENERATE command will be complete.
If you specify the ELEM-QUALIFY parameter of the OPTIONS command, SDCDE responds with one of
the following prompts, depending on the value you specify:
SDCDE attaches the prefix or suffix characters to all of the elements contained by the element. If you
enter a [[RETURN]], SDCDE does not attach a prefix or suffix.
When answers to the prompts are complete, SDCDE generates the code in the specified module for the
element definition.
