DIBIOL/DBL - Synergy Language Compiler

SYNERGYDBL
Use the DIBOL command to invoke the Synergy DBL compiler. The
DIBOL command line has one of the following formats:

     DIBOL [/qualifiers] file1[/qualifiers][,...filen[/qualifiers]]

     DIBOL [/qualifiers] file1 [+...filen][/qualifiers]

Parameters
The parameters to the DIBOL command are the Synergy DBL source files
to be compiled. If you specify more than one source file to be
compiled then you must separate them with either a comma (,) or
a plus sign (+). If you use a comma, each source file is compiled 
separately, producing separate object files.  If you use a plus sign 
however, the files are concatenated and compiled to produce a single 
object file. 



file1
The first source file to be compiled.  At least one source
file must be specified. The default file name extension is .DBL

filen
The optional name(s) of additional source files to be compiled.
The default file name extension is .DBL


Qualifiers
Is an optional string that contains one or more of the compiler
options and their arguments. You must precede each option
with a slash (/). If a qualifier requires an argument and that
argument is not specified, Synergy DBL assumes that the qualifiers
argument is the main filename.

You can append one or more compiler options either to the DIBOL
command or to an individual source file.  If you append compiler
options to the DIBOL command then all source files are affected
by the option. Options appended to a source file name however,
only affect that single file.


/ALTSTORE
 /ALTSTORE
 /NOALTSTORE (default)

Alternate DIBOL compatible decimal to decimal and alpha to decimal moves.
I you expect a decimal to decimal move where the source conatins a mixture
of spaces and digits to be converted to digits only, specify ALTSTORE.
NOTE: there is a performance penalty for using this switch at run time.

/ALTIF
 /ALTIF
 /NOALTIF (default)

Alternate IF. Use the alternate (non ANSI DIBOL) form of the IF
statement, which specifies that the THEN is optional and the ELSE
belongs to the last IF statement. The default is /NOALTIF. The
ANSI DIBOL form of the IF statement specifies that each ELSE
belongs to the most recent THEN in the same lexical level.

For more information, refer to the IF statement in on page 4-60
of the Synergy DBL Language Reference Manual.

/BIND
 /BIND
 /BIND=qualifier

Compile file1 as a primary or secondary routine for a bound
program, where qualifier is one of the two keywords, PRIMARY
or SECONDARY. The source file name is the first source file
specified, without an extension. By default, Synergy DBL does
not compile a bound program.

NOTE: Bind is not currently implemented



PRIMARY

 /BIND=PRIMARY



Compile the specified source file as a primary routine for the

bound program.




SECONDARY

 /BIND=SECONDARY



Compile the specified source file as a secondary routine for

the bound program.


/COMMON
 /COMMON=EXTERNAL
 /COMMON=NOSUFFIX

Process COMMON statements according to the specified keyword,
where keyword is either EXTERNAL or NOSUFFIX.



EXTERNAL



Treat a COMMON statement that doesn't specify a GLOBAL or

EXTERNAL qualifier in the main routine as an external common.

By default, Synergy DBL treats these COMMON statements as

global commons.



NOSUFFIX



Do not append a "$" to the end of common variable names. By

default, Synergy DBL adds the suffix "$" to all common variables.


/DEBUG
 /DEBUG
 /NODEBUG (default)

Create a symbolic access table. The compiler will output symbol
names for all variables into the object file. The default value
for this qualifier is /NODEBUG.

/DECARGS
 /DECARGS
 /NODECARGS    (default)

Numeric argument.  Map all decimal type arguments to numeric
type. The default value is /NODECARGS.

/DIGITAL
 /DIGITAL
 /NODIGITAL (Default)

Use the VAX DIBOL compiler instead of the Synergy DBL compiler

/FIND_LOCK
 /FIND_LOCK
 /NOFIND_LOCK  (default)

Have the FIND statement default to locking the specified record.
By default, Synergy DBL does not lock the record unless you
specify the LOCK qualifier on the FIND statement.

/GBLDEFS
 /GBLDEFS (default)
 /NOGBLDEFS

Determines if the DBLDIR:DBL.DEF file is included into your
programs. The DBL.DEF file defines several operating system
symbols such as D_AXP and D_VMS, so that you can conditionally
compile your code depending on the operating system that you
are running on. The file also defines numerous values for I/O
qualifiers.

If you end a routine with the END statement (instead of .END),
the DBL.DEF identifiers will be cleared along with any identifiers
you have defined. If your routines end with an END and you want
to use the identifiers defined in DBL.DEF then you must either
explicitly .INCLUDE the DBL.DEF file in any routine that will
use the identifiers, or replace all of your final END statements
with .END and remove duplicate .INCLUDE statements throughout
the file.

/LISTING
 /NOLISTING    (default)
 /LISTING=filename

Generate a program listing named 'filename'. If you don't specify
'filename', then the default list file name is the name of the
first source file with the extension .LIS and the file is created
in the current directory. By default, Synergy DBL does not generate
program listings

/OBJECT
 /NOOBJECT
 /OBJECT=filename

Name the object file filename.  The default object file name is
the name of the first source file, with the extension .OBJ and
the file is placed in the current directory.  If you don't want
to specify an object file name then you must specify /NOOBJECT.

/OFFSETS
 /OFFSETS
 /NOOFFSETS    (default)

Symbol table offsets. Create a table of every symbol referenced
in a program at the end of each routine in a listing.  The
default value for this parameter is /NOOFFSETS.

/OPTIMIZE
 /OPTIMIZE
 /NOOPTIMIZE   (default)

Remove the line number information from the executable image. The
resulting code is smaller, but does not execute any faster. If
you specify this option then you will not be able to use DEBUG and
any error tracebacks will not include line numbers. The default
value is /NOOPTIMIZE

/PAGE_SIZE
 /PAGE_SIZE=length

Set the length of each page of the program listing to length. If
this option is not specified then the default program listing
page length is 60 lines.

/REFRESH
 /REFRESH
 /NOREFRESH    (default)

Refresh the data from the disk between invocations.  The default
is /NOREFRESH 

NOTE: Refresh is not currently implemented.

/SHOW
 /SHOW              (default)
 /SHOW=(option[,...])

Generate extra information to the listing file. By default,
Synergy DBL will generate a listing file containing source
files, conditional compiler directives, source code within
false conditional blocks and page headers and footers. By
default, if a listing file is being created then all items
are included, equivalent to specifying /SHOW, or /SHOW=ALL.
You can modify the contents of the listing file by specifying
one or more of the following options:



ALL

 /SHOW=ALL



Show all options. This option is equivalent to specifying

 /SHOW with no options.



CONDITIONALS

 /SHOW=CONDITIONALS (default)

 /SHOW=NOCONDITIONALS



If you wish to exclude conditional compiler directives and source

code within false conditional blocks from the program listing then

specify NOCONDITIONALS. The default is CONDITIONALS.



HEADERS

 /SHOW=HEADERS      (default)

 /SHOW=NOHEADERS



If you want to exclude page headers and footers from the program

listing then specify NOHEADERS. The default is HEADERS.



NEWPAGE

 /SHOW=NEWPAGE

 /SHOW=NONEWPAGE    (default)



Form feed immediately after the data division in the program

listing. The default is NONEWPAGE.



USAGE

 /SHOW=USAGE

 /SHOW=NOUSAGE      (default)



Summarize the amount of memory required for each program

component and generate a memory usage summary table in the

program listing.  The default is NOUSAGE.


/STREAM

Change the default submode for files opened in output mode
to 'STREAM'.  If you don't specify this option then files
which are opened in output mode will be sequential.

/VARIANT
 /VARIANT
 /VARIANT=value

Define the value of the %VARIANT compile-time option. If you do
not specify the value, the default variant value is 1.

/WARNINGS
 /WARNINGS     (default)
 /NOWARNINGS

If you do not wish to generate any warnings during the
compilation then specify /NOWARNINGS.  The default value
is /WARNINGS.

/WIDTH_SIZE
 /WIDTH_SIZE=length

Set the width of the program listing to 'width' columns. If this
option is not specified then the default program listing width
is 132 columns.

Environment
The following logical names affect the way that Synergy DBL
operates in an OpenVMS environment:

DBL_CHRSET

The optional logical name DBL_CHRSET is used by DEC terminals
to specify character sets other than US ASCII for the windowing
subroutines.

 $ DEFINE DBL_CHRSET "escape_sequence"



Escape_Sequences



Is the escape sequence that designates the character set of

an associated language should be used for all screen display:



 (B US ASCII

 (A British

 (4 Dutch

 (Q French Canadian

 (R French

 (K German

 (Y Italian

 (Z Spanish

 (= Swiss



Refer to your VMS Terminal Programming Guide for more details.

You can also refer to a specific terminals programming manual

for other sequences.



Note that the escape character is NOT a part of the logical

name's definition.  It is supplied by the DBL runtime.



Example



$ DEFINE DBL_CHRSET "(K"



Instructs the windowing system to use the German character set.


DBLDICTIONARY

The optional logical name DBLDICTIONARY indicates the file
specifications for the Synergy ICS Data Dictionary files.

 $ DEFINE DBLDICTIONARY "file1,file2"

Where file1 is the specification of the Data Dictionary main
file, and file2 is the specification of the Data Dictionary
text file.  The two file specifications must be enclosed in
quotes and comma separated.



Example



$DEFINE DBLDICTIONARY "DDMAIN.ICS,DDTEXT.ICS"


DBLDIR

The DBLDIR logical name tells Synergy DBL which directory
contains your Synergy DBL software distribution.  This
logical name is required for normal operation of Synergy
DBL tools and programs, and is defined by the Synergy
startup procedure SYS$MANAGER:SYNERGY_STARTUP.COM.

 $ DEFINE DBLDIR device:[directory]



Example



$ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC DBLDIR SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYNERGY.DBL]


DBLLIBRARY

The optional DBLLIBRARY logical name indicates the directory
that the compiler will search for files specified in any
.INCLUDE statements that use the LIBRARY option without
specifying a library location.

 $ DEFINE DBLLIBRARY directory



directory



The 'directory' parameter can be either a single directory

specification, or a search list of two or more directories

separated by commas.  If a search list is used then DO NOT

include the directory specifications in quotes.



Examples



$ DEFINE DBLLIBRARY SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MYLIB]



The above example instructs the Synergy DBL compiler to

search for included library modules in the system directory

SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MYLIB]



$ DEFINE DBLLIBRARY SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MYLIB],DBL$ROOT:[DBLSTARLET]



This second example shows the use of a VMS search list.  The

Synergy DBL compiler will first search for included library

modules in the SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MYLIB] directory, but if the

required module is not located there the compiler will then

search in the DBL$ROOT:[DBLSTARLET] directory.


DBLMAXERR

The optional DBLMAXERR logical name specifies the maximum
number of errors that the Synergy DBL compiler will generate
before abandoning the compilation with a "Too many errors"
error. By default the Synergy DBL compiler will abort a
compilation after 20 errors have been detected.

 $ DEFINE DBLMAXERR error_count



Example



$ DEFINE DBLMAXERR 50



The above example instructs the Synergy DBL compiler to abort

a compilation after the detection of 50 errors.


DBLOPT

The optional DBLOPT logical name specifies Synergy DBL system
options which modify the product's environment or functionality.

 $ DEFINE DBLOPT string



string



A string that contains one or more Synergy DBL system option

numbers, separated by commas.  Synergy DBL will ignore any

unrecognised option numbers which appear in the string, and

any which are not applicable to OpenVMS.

1

System option 1 determines the default terminal number for

the SEND statement. If you set option 1, the default terminal

number will be 255, and the message being sent will be inserted

into the global message queue.



System option 13 also sets the default terminal number, and it

overrides option 1.  If option 13 is set then option 1 is ignored.



If you don't set option 1 or 13 and you don't specify a terminal

number in a SEND statement, the default terminal number will

be the number of the terminal running the program. The message

will be inserted into the terminals local message queue.



2

System option 2 controls the default file specification for the

STOP statement.



If you set option 2, the filename extension and path will default

to the extension and path of the program requesting the chain. If

option 2 is not set then the file extension will default to .EXE

and the path will default to the current directory.



5

System option 5 determines whether terminal I/O should be interpreted

as being CRT I/O.  If you set option 5, Synergy DBL will assume that

terminal I/O is I/O to or from a CRT.  This option acts the same as

XCALL FLAGS runtime option flag 4.  If you don't set this option then

CRT mode will be reset upon program startup and any I/O is assumed

to be non-CRT I/O.



7

System option 7 determines whether the runtime will use the Synergy

Message Manager or the local message facilities. Setting system

option 7 will cause the Synergy Message Manager to be used.



10

System option 10 controls whether or not the interrupt

character will be ignored at program startup and between

chains.  If option 10 is set, the interrupt character will

be ignored at program startup and between chained programs,

and the state of XCALL FLAGS runtime option 8 will automatically

be set on entry to each program. You can control when the

interrupt character will be processed (in other words, not

ignored) throughout your program by unsetting and resetting

flag 8.  If you don't set this option, Synergy DBL will

process any interrupt character the user types, unless

flag 8 is set.



11

System option 11 determines whether Synergy DBL will round

or truncate expression results by default. With option 11

set, Synergy DBL will truncate results, with option 11 not

set, results are rounded.



For a detailed discussion of this system option refer to

your Synergy DBL Language Reference Manual.



12

System option 12 affects buffered terminal output. If you

set option 12 then the Synergy DBL runtime will buffer

output until the buffer is full, a sleep, xcall tflsh, xcall wait

xcall spawn or terminal I/O statement occurs.



NOTE: this is currently not implemented.



13

System option 13 determines the default terminal number

for the SEND statement. If you set option 13, the default

terminal number will be 254, and the message being sent

will be inserted into the group message queue.



System option 1 also sets the default terminal number, but

is overriden by option 13. If option 13 is set, option 1

is ignored.



If you don't set option 13 or 1 and you don't specify a terminal

number in a SEND statement, the default terminal number will

be the number of the terminal running the program. The message

will be inserted into the terminals local message queue.



14

System option 14 is now obsolete and is ignored.



15

System option 15 is now obsolete and is ignored.



16

System option 16 maps the quit character to the interrupt

character. If you set option 16, when the user presses the

quit character, it will have the same effect as pressing

the interrupt character.  For example, <Ctrl-Y> will have

the same effect as <Ctrl-C>. If option 16 is not set, then

the quit character will quit out of the program.



NOTE: Under OpenVMS, you can continue program execution

by issuing a DCL CONTINUE command.



17

System option 17 controls how XCALL TNMBR determines the

terminal number.  With option 17 set, TNMBR will use the

physical device to determine the terminal number for a

virtual terminal.  If option 17 is not set TNMBR will

return the unit number in the VT device specification

for a virtual terminal.



18

System option 18 controls how the in-place MERGE statement

handles the logical end-of-file in the primary file.  With

option 18 set, the in-place MERGE will extend the primary

file by the number of records merged from the secondary

file. All records past the logical end-of-file in the

primary file are copied to the end of the primary file's

extension.



If option 18 is not set, the in-place MERGE treats any

logical end-of-file character or record as the end of the

usable data in the primary file. Any records that follow

the logical end-of-file will be overwritten.



20

(MS-DOS ONLY)

System option 20 is now obsolete and is ignored.



21

System option 21 determines whether or not the interrupt

character is trappable. With option 21 set, the ONERROR

statement cannot trap the interrupt character, which

means that the user can press the interrupt character to

interrupt your program.  Without this option the ONERROR

statement will trap the interrupt, which may make it

difficult to abort your program.



22

System option 22 determines how the LPQUE statement will

interface to the operating system.  With option 22 set,

and a program running from an interactive process, the

LPQUE statement will spawn a PRINT statement to print

a specified file, which enables you to add print options

after the filename.  Without this option set, or for

programs NOT running from an interactive process, the

LPQUE statement will use the $SNDJBC system service to

print the specified file.  Any switches that follow the

file name will be ignored. This feature works within batch

or detached processes.  You cannot use wildcard characters

in the file name.



NOTE: The operation of option 22 is system specific.



23

System option 23 determines where an in-place MERGE

statement places duplicate records. With option 23 set,

the in-place MERGE will place duplicate records from the

second input file after their matching records from the

first file.  Without option 23 set, the duplicate records

are placed before the matching record from the first file.



24

(TSX-32 ONLY)



System option 24 controls the processing of <Ctrl-B>,

<Ctrl-D>, and <Ctrl-E> characters under the TSX-32

operating system.



25

(MS-DOS ONLY)



System option 25 is now obsolete and is ignored.



26

(VMS ONLY)



System option 26 only affects detached processes. It looks

for a device name that can be used for terminal-directed

SEND's.  With option 26 set, the Synergy DBL program will

examine the logical names SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT, and 

SYS$ERROR, in that order, for the first one that has been

assigned to a terminal device. The Synergy DBL program

gets the device characteristics of the translation of each

of these logicals. If one of the logicals is a terminal

device, that device name will be communicated to the

Synergy Daemon.  The device name can then be used for

terminal-dircted SEND's by other programs.



If option 26 is not set, the detached process can only

receive messages sent to either the global or group

queues. Messages cannot be sent directly to their local

queue.



NOTE: Terminal-directed SEND's cannot be done to programs

running iun a sub-process, detached process, batch process,

or network process if system option 26 is not set.



27

System option 27 is now obsolete and is ignored.



28

System option 28 causes the compiler to map decimal

subroutine arguments (d) to numeric (n).  With this

option set, the compiler will treat any subroutine

arguments declared as 'd', as type 'n'.  If this option

is not set then no mapping of the decimal data type

will occur.



29

System option 29 determines whether the compiler requires

dimension specifications on a dimensioned variable. With

option 29 set, any dimensioned variable which is referenced

without dimension specifications ( [ ] ) will cause Synergy

DBL to to generate a "Dimension specifications required {var}"

compilation error. Dimension specifications are NOT required

on subroutine arguments or arguments to the ^PASSED data

reference operation.  Without option 29 set, Synergy DBL will

not require dimension specifications on dimensioned variables. 



30

System option 30 controls screen clearing for the Synergy

Windows routines. Set this option to optimize screen

clearing by these routines.



31

System option 31 determines which IF statement format the

Synergy DBL compiler will recognise.  With option 31 set,

the compiler will use the alternate form of the IF statement

during compilation, instead of the ANSI dibol form. Using

the alternate IF syntax, an ELSE clause matches the prtevious

IF clause. ANSI DIBOL IF syntax, on the other hand, matches

the ELSE clause with the previous THEN caluse. If option 31

is not set, the compiler defaults to the ANSI DIBOL syntax

for the IF satement.



32

System option 32 eliminates the upper and lower casing of

all two-byte characters. With option 32 set, the upper and

lower casing of the Kanji language and all other two-byte

characters will be eliminated.

5 35

System option 35 provides VAX-DIBOL compatible functionality

for the following features:



 - OPEN TT:

 - Echoing control charactrers

 - XCALL RENAM

 - OPEN with O:P mode

 - Allow input from keyboard as TT: rather than the command file

   when running from a command file.



Example



$ DEFINE DBLOPT "7,16,30,35"


DBLSTARLET

The optional DBLSTARLET logical name specifies the directory
of the system .INCLUDE files for use within system services.
By default value is DBL$ROOT:[DBLSTARLET]

 $ DEFINE DBLSTARLET device:[directory]

Note: This logical name is defined by the Synergy startup
procedure SYS$MANAGER:SYNERGY_STARTUP.COM



Example



$ DEFINE DBLSTARLET DBL$ROOT:[DBLSTARLET]


DBLTEXT

The optional DBLTEXT logical name specifies the directory
of the .INCLUDE files that are for use with the Synergy
DBL external subroutines. the default directory specification
is DBL$ROOT:[DBLSTARLET].

 $ DEFINE DBLTEXT device:[directory]

Note: This logical name is defined by the Synergy startup
procedure SYS$MANAGER:SYNERGY_STARTUP.COM



Example



$ DEFINE DBLTEXT DBL$ROOT:[DBLSTARLET]


TNMBR

The optional logical name TNMBR specifies the number that
Synergy DBL will use as the current terminal number. It is
your responsibility to ensure that you do not assign the
same terminal number to more than one terminal.

 $ DEFINE TNMBR number



number



The number that you want XACLL TNMBR to return for your terminal.



Example



$ DEFINE TNMBR 5


WNDC

The optional WNDC logical name will enable color on color
terminals and define the default Synergy colors. Screens
are updated using standard ANSI color escape sequences.

 $ DEFINE WNDC "palette1[,palette2,...,palette16]"



palettes



Each color palette specification (palette1, palette2 etc)

defines the foreground and background colors for that palette,

in the form forground/background.  Forground and background

are single character codes which signify a color.



You may skip a palette entry by placing successive commas in

the string. Any omitted palette entries default to the entry

for palette 1. The background color for palette entry 1 is

the background color for the entire screen.



Color_codes



D Dark (black)  R    Red

B Blue   M    Magenta

G Green   G    Green

C Cyan   W    White



Example



$ DEFINE WNDC "G/B,R/Y,,D/W"



The above example specifies that palette entry 1 be green

characters on a blue background, entry 2 is red characters

on a yellow background, and entry 4 is black characters on

a white background.  All other palette entries will default

to green characters on a blue background (as palette 1).


VMS_Specific

General

Below is a list of features that are specific to Synergy
DBL statements under OpenVMS.  These statements are described
in further detail in chapter 4 of your Synergy DBL Language
Reference Manual.

- OpenVMS does not support the ^LAST qualifier on the FIND,
  READ, or WRITE statements.

- OpenVMS does not support the ^EOF qualifier on the
  WRITE statement.

- The DETACH statement is not available under OpenVMS.

- The DISPLAY statement is valid only on channels opened to
  a terminal, Synergy DBL stream, or sequential files opened
  for output or append mode, and print files opened in
  output or append mode.

  Opening TT:, where the terminal output is redirected to
  a disk file, will result in separate records for each
  DISPLAY statement on VMS

- The GET, GETS, PUT, and PUTS binary I/O statements are
  only available on channels opened to Synergy DBL stream
  files, not any other file type. Note, however, that it
  is more efficient to open a file in BLOCK sub-mode and
  then access the file with the standard READ and WRITE
  statements than it is to access the file using the binary
  I/O statements previously mentioned.

- If your program is interactive and you set system option
  22, the LPQUE statement spawns a PRINT command to print a
  specified file.  Refer to documentation of system option
  22 for further information.

- If you're creating a relative file on OpenVMS, the RECSIZ
  I/O qualifier is required. If you're opening a relative
  file for input, the RECSIZ qualifier is checked and an
  "Invalid record size" error ($ERR_IRCSIZ) occurs if the
  values do not match the maximum record size defined for
  the file.

- The KEYNUM I/O qualifier with a non-zero value is not
  supported on a READ statement that uses the RFA I/O
  qualifier.

- The DIRECTION qualifier is not supported on the READS
  statement for ISAM files.

Subroutines

Several subroutines are either only available on Synergy
DBL for OpenVMS, or have diferent functionality under
OpenVMS from other operating systems.
