Compiler Input
Compiler Input
The only required input to the compiler is:
A source file containing the program text
In some cases, compiler directives
The optional input is:
One or more source library files from which the compiler can copy additional
source text specified in COPY statements or SOURCE directives
One or more user-specified object files that contain object code explicitly called by
the program being compiled
For the COBOL85 compiler:
°
The COBOL85 run-time object library file, C8LIB
°
These COBOL external declarations files, which are used in resolving
references to routines in the system library:
For the NMCOBOL compiler, these COBOL external declarations files, which are
used in resolving references to routines in the system library:
