Running SCF
NOWAIT
specifies that TACL does not wait while the program runs. TACL sends the
startup message to the new process and returns its command input prompt so
you can do other work while SCF runs in noninteractive mode. If you omit this
option, TACL pauses until SCF completes the command string.
OUT [ listfile ]
specifies a file code 101 edit-type output file for the SCF process. If you omit
OUT listfile, the SCF process uses the OUT file in effect for the current
TACL (usually your home terminal). If listfile does not exist, SCF creates it
for you. If you include OUT with no list-file name, output is suppressed.
PRI priority
specifies the execution priority of the SCF process. Specify priority as an
integer in the range 1 through 199. (Processes with higher numbers are
executed first.) If you specify a priority greater than 199, SCF runs at priority
199. If you omit this option, SCF is given a priority 1 less than that of the TACL
process. (However, if a $CMON process exists and you omit the PRI option,
$CMON can specify any priority. For more information on $CMON processes,
see the
Guardian Programmer’s Guide
for information.)
SWAP $volume[.subvolume.filename ]
When SCF is executing, the system allocates a temporary file on the same
volume as the SCF program file for swapping the data stack. When SCF
terminates, the temporary swap file is automatically purged.
•
If you specify $volume, SCF uses a different volume for the swap file. This
action is useful when $SYSTEM is full or busy.
You also can use this option to specify the default volume for extended
data segments. (For more information, see the
Guardian Programmer’s
Guide
.)
•
If you specify $volume.subvolume.filename, the swap file becomes
permanent and is not purged when the SCF process terminates. The swap
file remaining contains an image of the data stack when the process
terminated.
TERM [ \system.]$terminal
specifies the home terminal for the SCF process. If you omit this option, SCF
uses the TACL home terminal. For $terminal, specify a valid name for a
terminal or process. (That is, after the dollar sign, specify an alphanumeric
string of from one through six characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.
For remote access, the string can be no longer than five characters.)
