PAGE Command
The PAGE command directs the DDL compiler to list the next input line at the top of
the next page. Optionally, the PAGE command can also specify a page title.
listing-title
is an ASCII character string. Quotation marks must enclose the string.
PAGE Command Guidelines
The following points are guidelines for using the PAGE command:
•
The PAGE command can be placed anywhere in the DDL source listing.
•
When DDL encounters a PAGE command, it stops listing on the current page,
issues a page-ejection character to the listing destination, and resumes listing at
the top of the next page.
•
If a title is specified, DDL lists that title at the top of every subsequent page until it
encounters another PAGE command with a different listing title.
PAGE Command Example
The following PAGE command specifies a listing title:
?PAGE "DEFINITIONS"
Each subsequent listing page has the title DEFINITIONS until DDL encounters another
PAGE command with a new title.
PASCAL Command
The PASCAL command instructs the DDL compiler to:
•
Create and open a Pascal source file or open an existing Pascal source file.
•
Translate all subsequent statements that define DDL objects into Pascal source
statements.
•
Translate any DDL objects specified in subsequent OUTPUT statements into
Pascal source statements.
•
Write the Pascal statements to the Pascal source file.
