TACL PARAM Commands
When the list file is a magnetic tape or any kind of disk file, the compiler writes each 
line beginning with a control character (0 to skip a line, 1 to start a new page, and so 
forth) according to the FORTRAN 77 ANSI standard. You can print such a file correctly 
by sending it to the spooler with a FORTRAN program such as the following:
INTEGER max rec, rec len
CHARACTER * 132 line
1 FORMAT (A)
OPEN (5, ACCESS = 'SEQUENTIAL', FORM = 'FORMATTED',
 X MODE = 'INPUT', PROTECT = 'PROTECTED')
OPEN (6, ACCESS = 'SEQUENTIAL', FORM = 'FORMATTED',
 X MODE = 'OUTPUT', PROTECT = 'EXCLUSIVE')
INQUIRE (5, RECL = max rec)
10 READ (5, 1, END = 30, LENGTH = rec len) line (1: max rec)
WRITE (6, 1) line (1: rec len)
GO TO 10
30 STOP
END
TACL PARAM Commands
Before you execute the FORTRAN compiler, you can enter TACL PARAM commands 
that alter compile-time attributes of the FORTRAN compiler. Table 9-1 lists the compile-
time PARAMs recognized by FORTRAN and shows how they affect your compilation.
Table 9-1. PARAM Commands
PARAM Effect
OUTWIDTH n Specifies the number of columns to write to your program’s listing 
file. 
SAMECPU Specifies whether to force processes started by the FORTRAN 
compiler to run in the same CPU as the compiler.
SWAPVOL volume Specifies the name of the volume that the compiler uses for 
temporary files.
