C
The [NO]C command:
•
Opens [closes] a C source code file
•
Starts [stops] writing translated DDL object definitions to the C source code file
Default: NOC
C
closes any open C source code file, opens c-source-file, translates
subsequent DDL objects defined by statements or specified in OUTPUT
statements to C source code statements, and writes the C source code statements
to c-source-file.
c-source-file
is the name of the C source code file to be created, if necessary, and opened. The
file must be one of:
•
EDIT file
•
Unstructured file
•
Sequential device (such as a terminal, spooler, or process)
If the file exists but is not one of these types, the DDL compiler issues an error
message and does not open the file.
If c-source-file is an EDIT file, and it exceeds 99,999 lines, the DDL compiler
issues FILE ERROR -
filename - Edit file line number too large (537) on
page A-18.
