COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs (H06.08+, J06.03+)

program-parameter-list
program-parameter
is a parameter of the program that is to be run.
In the Guardian environment, the NonStop TCP/IP address of your workstation is automatically
detected when you invoke RUNV.
In the OSS environment, you must either set the _TANDEM_VISUALINSPECT_WSADDR environment
variable in your $HOME/.profile file or enter the workstation IP address as a command-line
parameter. RUNV reads the IP address from the environment variable or from the command line.
If you have set the environment variable but enter a different IP address on the RUNV command
line, the command-line entry overrides the environment variable definition. You define the workstation
IP address in your $HOME/.profile file only once unless the IP address changes.
Tools and Utilities
These tools and utilities allow you to use the native COBOL cross compiler more efficiently:
• NonStop ar Utility
• TACL DEFINE Tool (ETK)
• PC-to-NonStop-Host Transfer Tools
NonStop ar Utility
The NonStop ar utility creates and maintains archive libraries. The NonStop ar utility can process
a set of arguments that you enter, or you can use an OBEY command file to supply arguments to
the ar utility.
When an archive contains one or more TNS/E (native) object files, Windows eld can use the
archive as an object file library, replacing most functions provided by the Binder SELECT SEARCH
command. For information about Windows eld, see the eld Manual.
The Windows-hosted ar utility does not differentiate between OSS and Guardian target files. To
avoid run-time errors, be sure that procedures in archives used for resolving references work on
the target platform.
NOTE: The ar utility can also use archives created from TNS/E linkable files by the eld utility.
For information about the eld utility, see the eld Manual.
TACL DEFINE Tool (ETK)
On the ETK platform, this GUI-based tool allows you to add ADD, MODIFY, SET, and DELETE
statements to a DEFINE file. The TACL DEFINE tool automatically sets the first entry in the DEFINE
command file to be SET DEFMODE ON. You can leave this default or change it to SET DEFMODE
OFF. Files created by the TACL DEFINE tool have the extension .tdf.
PC-to-NonStop-Host Transfer Tools
The ETK allows you to transfer loadfiles and source files to the NonStop host using the Deploy
command or the Transfer Tool. Deploy builds and copies each project in the active solution to the
NonStop host. The Transfer Tool moves files to the NonStop host for execution and debugging.
