# Extended Commands

FMGEN Console Command | Open File Maintenance Generator

## Format

FMGEN fm_name$,library_file$

Where:

fm_name$ | Name of the file maintenance object.
library_file$ | Name of the library file. If the location of the library file is different from the current directory, enter the full pathname of the library file.

The fm_name$ and library_file$ must be separated by either a comma or a semi-colon.

## Description

The FMGEN command can be used to invoke the NOMADS Session Manager for opening a file maintenance panel in the NOMADS File Maintenance Generator if fm_name$ exists.

If fm_name$ does not exist, the File Maintenance Generator will launch, treating this as a new file maintenance panel definition.

(The FMGEN command was added in PxPlus 2025.)

## Example:

FMGEN clients;scrnlib.en

FMGEN depts,c:\work\data\scrnlib.en
