Compile an IMOD

Before you can load and execute an IMOD, you must compile it.

To compile an IMOD from the IMOD editor

  1. Access the IMOD you want to compile.

    A list containing the required IMOD appears.

  2. Enter C in the input field beside the name of the IMOD.

    The first character in the STATUS column field indicates the result of the compilation:

  3. If the status indicates errors, enter E beside the IMOD.

    The IMOD opens with the cursor at the first error.

    1. Review the IMOD for errors, and correct them. To move through the errors, enter FIND P'.' at the COMMAND ===> prompt. You can also use the ERROR macro by assigning it to a PF key.
    2. Repeat Step 2 to recompile the IMOD.

You can also compile an IMOD in batch by using SRVMAINT and including the COMPILE batch maintenance command in your JCL job.

Note: For information about how to use the SRVMAINT batch maintenance program, see Batch Maintenance of ISETs and ILOGs. For information about the COMPILE batch maintenance command, see the Reference Guide.
