BEGINCOMPILATION Directive

BEGINCOMPILATION marks the point in the source file where compilation is to begin

if the USEGLOBALS directive is in effect.

CHECK Directive

CHECK generates range-checking code for certain features. The default is NOCHECK.

CODE Directive

CODE lists instruction codes and constants in octal format after each procedure. The

default is CODE.

COLUMNS Directive

COLUMNS directs the compiler to treat any text beyond the specified column as

comments.

COMPACT Directive

COMPACT moves procedures into gaps below the 32K-word boundary of the code

area if they fit. The default is COMPACT.

CPU Directive

CPU specifies that the object file runs on a TNS system. (The need for this directive no

longer exists. This directive has no effect on the object file and is retained only for

compatibility with programs that still specify it.)
