Compiler Directives

TAL Reference Manual—526371-001

16-13

Example of ABORT Directive

In this example, NOABORT prompts you for a file name when the compiler cannot

open a file listed in a SOURCE directive:

!This is MYSOURCE file

!Global declarations

?NOABORT

?SOURCE somefile (proc1, proc2, proc3)

?SOURCE anyfile

!Procedure declarations

ABSLIST Directive

ABSLIST lists code addresses relative to the code area base.

The default is NOABSLIST.

Usage Considerations

This directive can appear in the compilation command or anywhere in the source code.

ABSLIST lists the code address for each source line relative to location C[0], the base

of the code area. The code address for each line applies to the first instruction

generated from the source statement on that line. ABSLIST has no effect if NOLIST or

SUPPRESS is in effect.

If you use ABSLIST, you must also use a PEP directive to specify the size of the PEP

table. Place the PEP directive before the first procedure declaration that is not a

FORWARD or EXTERNAL procedure declaration.

NOABSLIST lists code addresses relative to the base of the procedure.

Limitations

General use of ABSLIST is not recommended because some addresses listed by

ABSLIST are incorrect, for example, if the file:

•

Has more than 32K words of code

•

Has RESIDENT procedures following non-RESIDENT procedures
