Temporary File Placement
Temporary File Placement
The ECOBOL compiler and its supporting processes create and use temporary files.
By default, the compiler creates its temporary files on the current default volume. If
called by the compiler, the process ECOBFE and the linker create their temporary files
on the current default volume.
The PARAM SWAPVOL command specifies the volume on which the compiler and its
processes will create temporary files (if possible). It does not determine where the
operating system creates the compiler’s own swap file. For details, see PARAM
SWAPVOL.
The RUN option SWAP specifies one volume for both the temporary files that the
compiler and its processes will create and for the compiler’s own swap file. For more
information on SWAP and other RUN options, see the TACL Reference Manual.
CALL and ENTER Statement Processing: Overview
Any TNS/E HP COBOL program can call TNS/E HP COBOL programs with CALL
statements. Any HP COBOL program can call non-COBOL programs with ENTER
statements. A HP COBOL program that compiled with the PORT directive can also call
non-COBOL programs with X/Open CALL statements.
