Using the Model Setting › COMPILE Subcommand

COMPILE Subcommand

Under the MODEL setting, the syntax of the COMPILE subcommand is:

                      [ MDLTYPE(mdltype) ]
COMPILE filename      [ LIST|NOLIST      ]
                      [ STORE|NOSTORE    ]
                      [ FORCE|NOFORCE    ]

Under the MODEL setting, COMPILE takes the following parameters:

filename

Specifies the CMS file that contains the Syntax Model Command Language (SMCL) statements. You must create this file before you use the COMPILE subcommand. The file type must be MODEL.

MDLTYPE(mdltype)

Specifies the type of command model to compile. By default, CA ACF2 for z/ VM uses the value specified in the CMDLIM VMO record. Normally, you do not code this parameter unless you want to change the model type from the default.

LIST|NOLIST

Displays the input to the compiler on your screen. NOLIST prevents the display. LIST is the default. If you compile with the LIST option, you see several comments displayed on your screen after all the models are compiled. This is normal. They are displayed because this is a maintenance log.

STORE|NOSTORE

Stores the command model automatically at compilation time. NOSTORE does not automatically store the command model. You can use NOSTORE to test for errors in the syntax model statements. STORE is the default.

FORCE|NOFORCE

Stores the command model, regardless of whether it currently exists. NOFORCE stores the command model only if it did not already exist. FORCE is the default.

There is a SET FORCE|NOFORCE subcommand that defaults to SET FORCE. Use the FORCE|NOFORCE parameter of COMPILE to override the SET value, or use the SET subcommand to change the defaults for the COMPILE subcommand. For example, you can issue a SET NOFORCE to change the default for COMPILE to NOFORCE.
