TACL PARAM Commands
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:
TACL PARAM Commands
The compilers accept TACL PARAM commands that you issue before starting the
compilers. PARAM commands are BINSERV, SAMECPU, SWAPVOL, and SYMSERV.
PARAM BINSERV Command
The PARAM BINSERV command lets you specify which BINSERV process you want
to use. You can specify a file name or a TACL DEFINE name.
For example, you can specify the BINSERV file on a particular node, volume, and
subvolume as follows:
PARAM BINSERV \mynode.$myvol.mysubvol.BINSERV
If the specified node is not the one the compiler runs on, the compiler ignores the
command. If you omit the volume and subvolume, the compiler uses the current default
volume and subvolume. If you omit the file ID, the compiler uses the file ID BINSERV. If
you specify a TACL DEFINE name, it must refer to a disk file of class MAP.
If you use this command, the error file PDTERROR must be on the same subvolume
as BINSERV. If you omit this command, the compiler uses the BINSERV process on its
own volume and subvolume.
PARAM SAMECPU Command
The PARAM SAMECPU command causes the compiler, BINSERV, and SYMSERV to
all to run in the same CPU if you specify any number but 0. For example:
PARAM SAMECPU 32767
TAL /CPU 6/
Specifying 0 means the compiler, BINSERV, and SYMSERV need not run on the same
CPU. For example:
PARAM SAMECPU 0
Attribute Required Purpose
VOLUME Yes Contains the default node, volume, and subvolume
names for the current process as set by the TACL
VOLUME, SYSTEM, and LOGON commands
SWAP No Contains the node and volume name in which the
operating system is to store swap files
CATALOG No Contains a substitute name for a catalog as
described in the NonStop SQL Reference Manual
