Compiling With Saved Global Data

During program development or maintenance, you often need to change procedural

code or data without changing the global declarations. You can save the global data in

a file during a compilation session and then use the saved global data during a

subsequent compilation. You can shorten the compile time by not compiling global

declarations each time. For more information, see Saving and Using Global Data

Declarations on page 17-8.

Note. This topic applies only to the pTAL compiler. If you are using the EpTAL compiler, see

Migrating from TNS/R to TNS/E

on page 17-11.
