LINES Directive
•
To extend a single application’s code space
To build user libraries, there are certain restrictions that user library files need to follow.
For more information on user library restrictions, refer to the
Binder Manual.
LINES Directive
LINES sets the maximum number of output lines per page.
num-lines
is the maximum number of lines per page. Specify an unsigned decimal constant in
the range 10 through 32,767. The default is 60 lines per page.
Usage Considerations
LINES can appear in the compilation command or anywhere in the source code.
If the list file is a terminal, the compiler ignores the LINES directive. If the list file is a
line printer or a process, the compiler skips to the top of form.
Examples of LINES Directive
This example sets the maximum number of lines per page in the output listing to 66
lines per page:
?LINES 66
LIST Directive
LIST lists the source text for subsequent source code if NOSUPPRESS is in effect.
The default is LIST.
