Running the Compiler
HP TACL Run Options
You can include one or more HP TACL run options in the compilation command, such
as:
•
A process name
•
A CPU number
•
A priority level
•
The NOWAIT option
•
A swap volume
For example, you can specify CPU 3 and NOWAIT when you run the compiler:
pTAL /IN mysource, CPU 3, NOWAIT/ myobject
EpTAL /IN mysource, CPU 3, NOWAIT/ myobject
For information about HP TACL run options, see the RUN command in the TACL
Reference Manual .
By default, the compiler and its processes can run at a high PIN. If your compilation
accesses files on systems running C-series software, you must run the compiler at a
low PIN.
To run the compiler at a low PIN, set HIGHPIN OFF, as shown in the following
HP TACL command:
SET HIGHPIN OFF
When you set HIGHPIN OFF in the HP TACL program, the program runs all processes
at a low PIN except processes that explicitly specify the HIGHPIN ON option when the
process is created.
To ensure that the compiler runs at a low PIN without affecting other processes, specify
the run command’s HIGHPIN OFF option, as in the following example:
PTAL / HIGHPIN OFF .../ ...
EPTAL / HIGHPIN OFF .../ ...
