NCLCONSTANT
NCLCONSTANT
The [NO]NCLCONSTANT command:
•
Opens [closes] an NCL source code file
•
Starts [stops] writing translated DDL constant definitions to the NCL source code
file
Default: NONCLCONSTANT
NCLCONSTANT
closes any open NCL source code file, opens NCL-source-file, translates
subsequent DDL constants defined by statements or specified in OUTPUT
statements to NCL source code statements, and writes the NCL source code
statements to NCL-source-file.
NCL-source-file
is the name of the NCL 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.
Default: home terminal
