ICGD, Instructions Controlling Generation of Documents

The processing of listings and reports are controlled by a set of instructions stored in a data set called ICGD. An ICGD specifies what kind of data will be processed from the material file, header file and catalog and how the information is summed and sorted. Also it specifies whether data tables will be plotted (for drawing sheet) or printed (for listing).

An ICGD may also define default drawing sheet to be used for a drawing or format control file for listing. In this example for listing of pipeline materials a format control file named "Pipeline_mat_csv" is used.

Note: In ICGD also the user may be requested for some header information, see how to query project name in the ICGD: Pro; 1; Project: ;;

Deselect according to sorting codes

This is an example how to exclude objects from listing using Sorting Codes in selection rule. An exclamation point “!” means that objects with sorting codes from 2210 to 2240 or from 5000 to 5070 are deselected.

sor;!2210;2241;/* deselect bolt,nut,washer,gasket*/

sor;!5000;5071;/* deselect insulations*/
