BEGINCOMPILATION
NOTE: The EpTAL compiler ignores this directive. See Migrating from TNS/R to TNS/E (page 375).
BEGINCOMPILATION marks the point in the source file where:
• The information saved by the SAVEGLOBALS operation ends
• Compilation is to begin if the USEGLOBALS directive is active.
NoneDefault:
Placement:
• In the source file between the last global data declaration and the first
procedure declaration, including any EXTERNAL and FORWARD
declarations
• Can appear only once in a compilation unit
Applies to all source code that follows it in the compilation unitScope:
Dependencies:
• Has no effect without the USEGLOBALS directive
• If you specify either SAVEGLOBALS or USEGLOBALS, your compilation
unit must have exactly one BEGINCOMPILATION directive
• Interacts with SAVEGLOBALS and USEGLOBALS (see Saving and Using
Global Data Declarations (page 372))
References:
• SAVEGLOBALS (page 413)
• USEGLOBALS (page 423)
BLOCKGLOBALS
BLOCKGLOBALS determines how the compiler allocates global data that is not declared within
the scope of a named data block or the private data block.
The compiler allocates data items in the _GLOBAL and $_GLOBAL data blocksDefault:
Before the first data declaration in a compilationPlacement:
Applies to the compilation unitScope:
NoneDependencies:
If you specify BLOCKGLOBALS, the compiler allocates its own data block for each global variable
that is not declared in the scope of a named data block or the private data block. The name of
the data block is the same as the name of the variable contained in the data block.
