Compiler Directives

TAL Reference Manual—526371-001

Usage Considerations

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

Both SUPPRESS and NOSUPPRESS can appear in the source code.

SUPPRESS suppresses all compilation listings except the compiler leader text,

diagnostic messages, and the trailer text. That is, the compiler and BINSERV produce

diagnostic and trailer text, but BINSERV does not produce the load maps.

SUPPRESS overrides all the listing directives—ABSLIST, CODE, CROSSREF,

DEFEXPAND, FMAP, GMAP, ICODE, INNERLIST, LIST, LMAP, MAP, PAGE, and

PRINTSYM.

SUPPRESS does not alter the source code.

NOSUPPRESS lets the listing directives take effect.

Example of SUPPRESS Directive

This compilation command starts the compilation and suppresses all source code

listings and maps from printing in the compiler output:

TAL /IN mysrc, OUT $s.#lists/ myobj; SUPPRESS

SYMBOLPAGES Directive

SYMBOLPAGES sets the size of the internal symbol table the compiler uses as a

temporary storage area for processing variables and SQL statements.

num-pages

specifies the number of 2048-byte memory pages to allocate for the symbol table.

Specify an unsigned decimal constant in the range 512 through 32,767. The

default is 512 pages (1 megabyte).
