.b
Generates symbolic constant definitions.

The command has to be defined first - see the use subtopic.

Format:
.s
.i +5;GENSYM file-spec[,...]

.b
file-spec[,...]
.b
Specifies one or more object files containing symbol definitions.
 If you do not specify a file type for the first input  file,  the
GENSYM command uses the default file type of OBJ.

.i -2;2 use
.s
 To set up GENSYM for use, issue the command
.s
.i +5;SET COMMAND <dir>GENSYM
.s
where <dir> is the directory containing GENSYM.CLD.
.s
GENSYM.CLD needs to be edited to point to the directory
containing GENSYM.EXE.
