Compiling the JSL

Compiling converts the information from a job source file (JSL) into
an object file (JDL). This is the command to enter at the keyboard
display user interface to compile the JSL:

PDL [

filename [.JDL] ] [,parameters]

The

file-id is the source file that contains the PDL command. The

file-id can be the file-name alone, or, more typically, the file-name
and the file directory or extension, in the form

file-name.file-type.

Table 3-1 lists the

filename option(s) and definition(s).

Parameters may be any combination of the parameters listed in table
3-2.

Table 3-1.

PDL filename option(s) and definition(s)

Option(s)

Definition(s)

file-name

Specifies the 1 to 6 character name of the JSL
file to be input to the PDL task. If no file name
is specified, source input for PDL is read from
tape, and a JDL file is created on disk for each
SYSTEM (or JDL) system command
encountered.

file-name.JSL

The file-id which allows you to optionally
include the file extension, or file-type, to the file
name in the PDL command. If the file
extension is used, it must be as shown as JSL.
Any deviation aborts the command.
