Using TACL PARAM Commands
Using TACL PARAM Commands
Table 11-1 shows the TACL PARAM commands that you can specify when you run
your program. For more information, see the CRE Programmer’s Guide.
Disabling Level-3 Spooling
Beginning with release C20 of FORTRAN, all program files directed to a spooler
collector use level-3 spooling by default. You do not have to change anything in
programs written prior to release C20 or recompile them to use this faster method of
spooling.
You might want to disable level-3 spooling. By entering a TACL PARAM before you run
your program, you can disable level-3 spooling.
Disabling Level-3 Spooling With ENV OLD
If you run a program that you compiled with a C-series FORTRAN compiler or a
program that you compiled with a D-series FORTRAN compiler with ENV OLD in
effect, you can disable level-3 spooling at run-time by entering a PARAM SPOOLOUT
TACL command before you run your FORTRAN program. The general form of the
SPOOLOUT PARAM is:
Table 11-1. Run-Time TACL PARAM Commands
PARAM Values Environment Effect
BUFFERED-SPOOLING ON
OFF
COMMON BUFFERED-SPOOLING OFF
ensures that your program does
not use level-3 spooling.
EXECUTION-LOG name *
file name
COMMON If present, affects the names of
standard input, standard output,
and standard log files.
INSPECT param ON
OFF
COMMON Along with EXECUTION-LOG,
determines whether your program
invokes a debugger if a run-time
error occurs.
NONSTOP param ON
OFF
COMMON Along with other parameters,
determines whether your program
runs as a NonStop process.
SPOOLOUT 0
1
OLD Controls whether your program
uses level-3 spooling.
SWITCH-nn, value nn is 1 -
15 value
is ON or
OFF
COMMON Specifies the values of software
program switches. Programs that
specify ENV COMMON can read
switch values.
