SHOWFILE and NOSHOWFILE

SHOWFILE

displays the identity of the file from which source text is being read under the

control of the SOURCE directive.

NOSHOWFILE

suppresses the display of the identity of the file from which source text is being

read under the control of the SOURCE directive.

SHOWFILE applies only to source file transitions due to the effect of SOURCE

directives. The compiler does not generate lines to report transitions caused by COPY

statements.

Whenever the compiler begins reading a different source file in response to a

SOURCE directive and whenever it resumes reading from the prior source file after a

SOURCE directive’s effect terminates, it inserts a line of this format into the listing:

is the file ordinal assigned by the compiler to the source file. Every time the

compiler encounters a SOURCE directive, it increments the value of n by 1.

file-name

is the fully qualified source file name.

yyyy-mm-dd

is the date when the source file was last modified.

hh:mm:ss

is the time when the source file was last modified.

Default: NOSHOWFILE

Placement: Anywhere

Scope: Applies until its opposite overrides it

Dependencies: None
