Command Line Length
TERM terminal-name
is the name of a terminal or process that acts as the home terminal for the
compiler. If you omit this option, FORTRAN uses the TACL home terminal.
object
specifies the disk file name that BINSERV gives the compiled object program. If
you omit this entry, FORTRAN uses a file named OBJECT on your current system,
volume, and subvolume. If OBJECT already exists, BINSERV purges it before
creating the target file. If BINSERV cannot name the file with either object or
OBJECT, it assigns the target file a name in the form of ZZBI nnnn, where nnnn is
a random number.
directive
is a FORTRAN compiler directive described in Section 10, Compiler Directives.
Command Line Length
The FORTRAN command (or any other TACL command) can contain a maximum of
132 characters on the same line. You can enter commands of up to 528 characters by
ending each line of the command (except the last) with an ampersand character (&).
The following two commands are equivalent:
1> FORTRAN/ IN mortgage, OUT listmort, NOWAIT/;INTEGER*4
1> FORTRAN/ IN mortgage, OUT listmort, NOWAIT/&
2> ;INTEGER*4
The directives following the semicolon can have a total length of up to 280 characters.
Examples
The following TACL command compiles the source file BUGS, sends the compiler
listing to LIST, and creates the object file OBUGS:
1> FORTRAN/ IN bugs, OUT list/ obugs
The following TACL command compiles the source file NEWPROG, sends the compiler
listing to a printer, and creates the object file OBJECT. It uses the NOWAIT option and
the compiler directives INTEGER*4 and ANSI.
1> FORTRAN/ IN newprog, OUT $s.#lp, NOWAIT/;INTEGER*4, ANSI
Using a Tape or Disk File for the Listing Output
If the device to which FORTRAN writes its listing file is a process, a printer, or a
terminal, FORTRAN takes care of vertical format control (skip a line, start a new page,
and so on) by issuing CONTROL and SETMODE requests.
