Compiler Invocation

The compiler reads Template-Language statements from a template source file and

produces a template object file.

To run the compiler from TACL, enter:

in-file

is the template source file: a terminal, process, disk file, or DEFINE logical name.

For more information, see IN File.

out-file

is the listing destination: a terminal, process, printer, disk file, or DEFINE logical

name. For more information, see OUT File.

run-option

is CPU, DEBUG, DEFMODE, INLINE, INSPECT, INV, JOBID, LIB, MEM, NAME,

NOWAIT, OUTV, PFS, PRI, STATUS, SWAP, TERM, or WINDOW. For more

information, see the RUN command in the

TACL Reference Manual

object-file

is the file to receive the compiled templates: a disk file name or a DEFINE logical

name. You must include this file name. For more information, see Object File

page 4-3.

IN File

The IN file is the template source file: a terminal, process, disk file, or DEFINE logical

name. If you omit the IN file, TACL supplies its own IN file as the default. The compiler

reads up to 132 bytes per record. It ignores any characters beyond column 132.

For information on DEFINEs, see the

Guardian User’s Guide

and the

TACL Reference

Manual

OUT File

The compiler writes its listing—Template Language statements with informative and

diagnostic information—to its OUT file. For a complete description of error and warning

messages that the compiler issues, see Appendix B, TEMPL Errors.
