-source directory
Specify the directory containing annotated ABL files.
-esboe directory
Specify the destination directory for generated .esboe files.
-archive filename
Specify the name of an archive (.xar) file to hold all the generated .esboe files. filename must be a fully qualified filename.
-rcode directory
Specify the directory containing the compiled r-code that corresponds to either the directory specified with -source or the listed files. This parameter is required to process ABL code if it contains temp-table definitions containing the keyword LIKE.
-recurse
Direct ESBOEGEN to recursively search all subdirectories for ABL code. When specified, a corresponding directory tree is built in the output directory specified with -esboe or in the archive specified with -archive.
files
A comma separated list of ABL files. If a fully qualified file name is not specified, then ESBOEGEN looks for the file in the current working directory.
