TACL DEFINE Tool (ETK)
The Windows-hosted ar utility does not differentiate between OSS and Guardian
target files. To avoid run-time errors, be sure that procedures in archives used for
resolving references work on the target platform.
TACL DEFINE Tool (ETK)
On the ETK platforms, this GUI-based tool allows you to add ADD, MODIFY, SET, and
DELETE statements to a DEFINE file. The TACL DEFINE tool automatically sets the
first entry in the DEFINE command file to be SET DEFMODE ON. You can leave this
default or change it to SET DEFMODE OFF. Files created by the TACL DEFINE tool
have the extension .tdf.
PC-to-NonStop-Host Transfer Tools
The ETK allows you to transfer loadfiles and source files to the NonStop host using the
Deploy command or the Transfer Tool. Deploy builds and copies each project in the
active solution to the NonStop host. The Transfer Tool moves files to the NonStop host
for execution and debugging. The Transfer Tool is better for transferring very large,
complex applications to the NonStop host. For most applications, Deploy is more
convenient.
From the PC command line, you can use any FTP application to transfer loadfiles and
source files to the NonStop host.
Documentation
The ETK has online help that provides conceptual, reference, task-oriented, and error
message information, as well as a quick-start tutorial. To access the online help, you
can either:
•
From the Help menu, choose Contents, Index, or Search.
•
Click the Help in any ETK dialog box.
The command-line documentation, Using the Command-Line Cross Compilers on
Windows, is available:
•
On the native COBOL cross compiler CD
•
In the ETK online help under References
Syntax information for individual cross compilers is also available from the command-
line:
Note. The ar utility can also use archives created from TNS/E linkable files by the eld utility.
For information about the eld utility, see the eld Manual.
