Perform a test compilation of the new NCL procedure.
Move the cursor before HELLO1 using the arrow keys or the TAB key, type the letter
C, as shown in the following screen, and then press the ENTER key:
------------------------- Edit Services : Selection List ----------------------
File Spec:
Subvolume: $DATA9.MYNCLLIB
T=Test a panel S/B=Browse C=Compile D=Delete E=Edit
Filename Code EOF Last Modification Owner RWEP
C HELLO1 101 2132 11-NOV-1994 11:03:11 100,21 CCCC
F3=Exit F7=Prev F8=Next F11=Error List
Performing a test compilation on an NCL procedure checks the syntax of the NCL
procedure without executing it. It is good practice to perform a test compilation of an
NCL procedure before you attempt to execute it. Choosing C in Edit Services to check
an NCL procedure has the same result as using the NCLCHECK command in OCS.
The screen also shows the meaning of the other letters—T, S, B, D, and E—that you can
place before a file name.
