Running SCF
Running SCF
SCF resides in the file $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SCF. To start SCF, you use the TACL
RUN command described in the TACL Reference Manual . Only the run options that
pertain to SCF are shown in the TACL syntax diagram. It is seldom necessary for you
to specify SCF run options because default values are appropriate for most situations.
The command for running SCF from TACL is:
[ RUN ] [ \ remote .]SCF
is the TACL command to run the SCF program on the local system or, optionally,
on the remote system.
run-option
is one or more of these RUN options, separated by a comma:
CPU num
specifies the number of the processor in which SCF is to execute. The
variable num is an integer in the range 0 through 15. If you omit this option,
SCF executes in the same processor as TACL. (However, if you omit the CPU
option and a $CMON process exists, $CMON may specify a processor other
than the one in which the current TACL process is executing. For information
about $CMON processes, see the Guardian Programmer's Guide .)
DEFMODE { OFF | ON }
specifies the initial DEFMODE setting and determines which DEFINEs are
propagated to this SCF session. If you do not include this option, the initial
DEFMODE setting for SCF is the DEFMODE setting for the current TACL.
OFF disables DEFINEs for this SCF session. ON enables and propagates all
specified DEFINES to this SCF session. For more information on SCF support
for DEFINEs, see page 4-20 .
IN filename
specifies the input file (usually a command file) for the SCF process. This file
name is sent to SCF in its startup message. If you do not include IN
filename , the SCF process uses the IN file in effect for the current TACL
(usually your home terminal). For more information, see Setting the Initial
Input Source and Changing the Input Source on page 4-8.
