Invoking the Compile Preprocessor

To have the compile preprocessor invoked on a compilation request, the following conditions must be met:

• The preprocessor utility must be installed in the subsystem in which the compile is taking place. This is done by adding a routing entry to the subsystem.
• The submitted job must have the correct routing data, and also the switch settings to invoke the desired options. Any combination of options may be selected via the job switch settings.
• For the options specifying extraction of directives from the source, the directives must have been coded in the source in the correct format (see Source Directives below).
