<div class="section"><p>When you issue <span>a CL command
to create a file</span>, the DDS is retrieved from the source file and validated,
and a file is created as shown in the following figure. The file is created
only if there are no errors in the DDS of equal or greater severity than the
severity specified on the GENLVL parameter of <span>the
CL command that creates the file</span>. Thus, you can use the GENLVL parameter
to control the allowable error severity when creating the file. Depending
on the options you specify on the OPTION and FLAG parameters, a DDS source
(or compiler) listing can also be created. The DDS listing
contains the data description and error information.</p>
<p>You can use the
FLAG parameter to specify the minimum severity of DDS messages which will
be printed. For example, you can suppress the warning messages for field
overlapping.</p>
