PARAM SWAPVOL
DEFAULTS DEFINE
In the DEFAULTS class, a permanently built-in DEFINE named =_DEFAULTS has the
following attributes, which are active regardless of any DEFMODE setting:
PARAM SWAPVOL
The PARAM SWAPVOL command lets you specify the volume that the compiler and
SYMSERV use for temporary files. For example:
PARAM SWAPVOL $myvol
The compiler ignores any node specification and allocates temporary files on its own
node. If you omit the volume, the compiler uses the default volume for temporary files;
SYMSERV uses the volume that is to receive the object file.
Use this command when:
•
The volumes normally used for temporary files might not have sufficient space.
•
The default volume or the volume to receive the object file is on a different node
from the compiler.
ASSIGN
You can issue the HP TACL ASSIGN command before starting the compiler to
substitute actual file names for logical file names used in the source file. The HP TACL
product stores the file-name mapping until the compiler requests it.
ASSIGN commands fall into two categories:
•
Ordinary ASSIGN Command on page B-8
•
ASSIGN SSV on page B-9
