Running the TAL Compiler When you start the TAL compiler using the TACL RUN command, TACL calls the
PROCESS_CREATE_ procedure to create the TAL compiler process and the resulting
BINSERV and SYMSERV processes at low PINs.
To run the TAL compiler process and the BINSERV and SYMSERV processes at high
PINs, you must use the Binder program to set the HIGHPIN object-file attribute to ON
in the TAL compiler object file (provided you have the proper authority to change this
file):
@CHANGE HIGHPIN ON IN ztal
TACL then runs the TAL compiler and the BINSERV and SYMSERV processes at high
PINs if they are available. For more information about TACL, refer to the TACL
Reference Manual.
Using the Binder With
Converted Object Files
You cannot bind modules that have been compiled with the D-series compiler with
modules that have been compiled with a C-series compiler. If you compile any
module with the D-series compiler, you must also recompile any other modules that
you bind it with.
