Running the TAL Compiler

To run the TAL compiler, enter an implicit TACL RUN command at your TACL prompt

or from an OBEY command file. The syntax is:

source-file

is the primary source file of your compilation unit. The source file can be an EDIT

format disk file (file code 101), a terminal, a magnetic tape unit, or a process. The

default is your home terminal (if your TACL process is in interactive mode).

list-file

is the name of the file that receives the output from the compiler. If you specify

OUT without a list file, TAL suppresses the output. If you omit OUT and you started

the compiler from your TACL process, the OUT file is your home terminal. Often,

the list file is a spooler location (for example, $S.#TALLIST).

run-option

is a TACL RUN command option, as described in the TACL Reference Manual.

object-file

is a Guardian file name that specifies the bindable object code for the compilation unit.

If you omit the object file, the compiler creates a file named OBJECT on your

default subvolume. If the compiler cannot create OBJECT (usually, because a file

with this name already exists and cannot be purged), the compiler creates a file

TAL / [ IN source-file ] [, OUT list-file ]

[ , run-option] [ , run-option] ... / [ object-file ]

[ ; directive [ , directive ] ... ]

directive can be:

[ SYMBOLPAGES num-pages ]

[ SQL [ option ]

[ ( option [ , option ] ... ) ]

option is:

[ PAGES num-pages ]

[ RELEASE1 | RELEASE2 ]

[ SQLMAP | NOSQLMAP ]

[ WHENEVERLIST | NOWHENEVERLIST ]
