SYMBOLS Compiler Directive
Example
?SUPPRESS
SYMBOLS Compiler Directive
The SYMBOLS directive specifies whether to include a symbol table in the object file
for use by Inspect. You must specify this directive if you intend to use Inspect for
source-level debugging.
The default value is NOSYMBOLS.
Considerations
You can turn the SYMBOLS directive on and off on a procedure by procedure
basis. You can delete the symbol table after you have debugged the program.
Specify the SYMBOLS directive either with the FORTRAN command, or in the
source input file preceding the first FORTRAN statement, or between the END line
of one program unit and the first FORTRAN statement of the next program unit.
You can respecify INSPECT, SAVEABEND, and SYMBOLS during an interactive
Binder session. For additional information, see the Binder Manual.
You can also specify INSPECT and SAVEABEND as RUN command options.
Example
?INSPECT, SAVEABEND, SYMBOLS
SYNTAX Compiler Directive
The SYNTAX directive tells the compiler to scan the source file for syntax errors, but
does not produce an object file.
Considerations
Specify the SYNTAX directive either with the FORTRAN command (after the semicolon
following the object file name) or in the source input file before the first FORTRAN
statement.
Example
?SYNTAX
