Does anyone have an example how to generate a file in batch?

LOGON SYSDIC  
GENERATE AF FNR=950,…

DIC1306 KEYWORD ‘FNR’ NOT VALID WITH COMMAND ‘GENERATE FDT’

From the manual: Generate Adabas File in Batch Mode  
FNR is a valid command.

Thanks,  
Dieter

put the stuff after “GENERATE AF” on the next line.  
:roll:  
They promise the documentation will be updated in the “next SM”.
