Using Directives
in the Source File
Compiler directives let you:
Specify input source code
Control listings, generate the object code, and build the object file
Perform conditional compilation
A directive line in your source file can contain any number of compiler directives. You
must start each new directive line and any continuation lines with a question mark (?)
in column 1.
The following directive line contains one directive:
?NOLIST
The following directive lines contain multiple directives:
?NOLIST, NOCODE, INSPECT, SYMBOLS, NOMAP, NOLMAP, GMAP
?CROSSREF, INNERLIST
The following directive line shows a continuation line for the argument list of a
directive:
?SEARCH (file1, file2, file3, file4,
?file5, file6)
If the list of arguments in a directive continues on subsequent lines, you must specify
the leading parenthesis of the argument list on the same line as the directive name:
?NOLIST, SOURCE $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.EXTDECS (
? PROCESS_GETINFO_,
? PROCESS_STOP_)
