Compilation

The SCOBOLX run command invokes the SCREEN COBOL compiler. If you choose

to use all default parameters, you would enter the command as follows:

SCOBOLX

Running the SCREEN COBOL Compiler

The SCREEN COBOL compiler is usually run from the command interpreter. The

syntax of the command is:

IN source-file

is a file containing SCREEN COBOL statements and compiler commands. The

SCREEN COBOL compiler reads source-file as 132-byte records. If this

parameter is omitted, input is taken from the current input file of the command

interpreter; this is typically the home terminal.

OUT list-file

directs listing output to a named file. The file has the same form as source-

file. If list-file is an unstructured disk file, each list-file record is 132

characters (partial lines are blank filled through column 132).

If list-file is omitted and OUT is present, no listing is produced. If the entire

option is omitted, the listing output is directed to the command interpreter OUT file;

this is typically the home terminal.

run-option

is one of the following operating system command options:

NAME $process-name

specifies the symbolic process name.

CPU cpu-number

specifies the processor module.

SCOBOLX [ / [ IN source-file ]

[ , OUT [ list-file ] ]

[ , run-option ] ... / ]

[ tclprog-file ]

[ , copy-library ]

[ ; compiler-command ] ...

Note. You must compile a source program unit using a SCOBOLX run command on the same

node where the source program unit resides. You cannot compile on one node a program unit

residing on another node.
