pTAL Reference Manual (G06.24+, H06.09+, J06.03+)

file-name
is the name of a disk file from which the compiler is to read source code. On Guardian
platforms, the compiler uses HP TACL ASSIGN SSV information, if specified, to complete the
file name; otherwise, the compiler uses the current default volume and subvolume names as
needed.
define-name
is the name of a MAP DEFINE that refers to a disk file from which the compiler is to read source
code.
NOTE: MAP DEFINEs are available only on Guardian platforms.
assign-name
is a logical file name you have equated to a disk file (from which the compiler is to read source
code) by issuing an ASSIGN command.
section-name
is an identifier specified within the included file by a SECTION directive. If the compiler does
not find section-name in the specified file, it issues a warning.
The list of section names can extend to continuation lines.

Section Names
If you specify SOURCE with no section names, the compiler processes the specified source file until
the end of that file. The compiler treats any SECTION directives in the source file as comments.
If you specify SOURCE with section names, the compiler processes the source file until it reads all
the specified sections. A section begins with a SECTION directive and ends with another SECTION
directive or the end of the file, whichever comes first.
