The Generated Code Structure view displays a hierarchical tree showing the generated nodes of the Program or Screen. You can easily spot where specific code has been entered. Moreover, if you have modified the design of a Program or Screen which contains specific code, you must consult this view after each new generation. This view shows whether the reconciliation (which integrates the new design while keeping the specific code) has detected any potential problems.
For Pacbase, the nodes correspond to functions/subfunctions/sections/divisions.

the node contains specific changes: if the generated code has been
modified, if code has been added or deleted. These lines are black.
A symbol specifies the type of specific change:
symbol is displayed where you have
modified the text of the node and no error has been found by the reconciliation.
symbol is displayed where you have added a block
of text in the node or created a specific node.
symbol is displayed where you have deleted the
whole text of the node (if you have deleted only part of it, it is
considered as a modification).
