What Are the TGAL
Run Parameters?
You can enter some TGAL commands when you enter the TGAL RUN command.
For example, if you want to print specific pages of your EDIT file, you include the
OUT command in the TGAL RUN command. To print only pages 3 through 6 of your
file, you enter:
TGAL/IN EDITFILE, OUT $S.#PRINTER/OUT 3/6
If you forgot to enter the POFF, OUTLEN, and DBL commands in your EDIT file, you
can include these commands in your TGAL RUN command. Commands must be
separated by semicolons. You enter:
TGAL/IN EDITFILE, OUT $S.PRINTER/POFF 10;OUTLEN 60;DBL ON
How Do You Stop TGAL? If TGAL is still processing your file, you can use the Command Interpreter STOP
command to stop TGAL.
To stop TGAL, do the following:
Press the BREAK key
Type STOP when the Command Interpreter displays the colon.
Look at the following example:
:TGAL/IN EDITFILE, OUT $S.#PRINTER
Press the BREAK key.
:STOP
If you see the message “Illegal Process Number,” TGAL has already finished
processing your file. (Use PERUSE to delete the document.)
How Does TGAL
Report Errors?
TGAL prints error messages on a separate page following the text page where the
error occurred. TGAL prints up to 15 characters of an incorrect command line and
prints up to 10 error messages for each text page.
A TGAL error message tells you:
The line number on the page
The line number in the EDIT file
The error that occurred
