7 Compilation
The SCOBOLX run command invokes the SCREEN COBOL compiler. If you choose
to use all default parameters, you would enter the command as follows:
SCOBOLX
Running the SCREEN COBOL Compiler
The SCREEN COBOL compiler is usually run from the command interpreter. The
syntax of the command is:
IN source-file
is a file containing SCREEN COBOL statements and compiler commands. The
SCREEN COBOL compiler reads source-file as 132-byte records. If this
parameter is omitted, input is taken from the current input file of the command
interpreter; this is typically the home terminal.
OUT list-file
directs listing output to a named file. The file has the same form as source-
file . If list-file is an unstructured disk file, each list-file record is 132
characters (partial lines are blank filled through column 132).
If list-file is omitted and OUT is present, no listing is produced. If the entire
option is omitted, the listing output is directed to the command interpreter OUT file;
this is typically the home terminal.
run-option
is one of the following operating system command options:
NAME $ process-name
specifies the symbolic process name.
CPU cpu-number
specifies the processor module.

Note. You must compile a source program unit using a SCOBOLX run command on the same
node where the source program unit resides. You cannot compile on one node a program unit
residing on another node.
