-xref, -xref_stdout off
Technical Notes:
1. If your program compile generates Errors (E-level diagnostics on OpenVMS
Alpha), the link phase of the two steps taken by the compiler driver will
be aborted and the object file(s) deleted. You can override this deletion by
specifying the
-c flag:
% cobol -c test.cob
% cobol test.o
The Compaq COBOL compiler driver (see Section 1.2.2) controls a sequence of
operations (as required): compiling, assembling, linking. The
-c flag signals
the compiler driver to break the sequence.
(For additional information, see The COBOL Command Driver description
(earlier in this chapter), Section 1.2.2.12, and the
-c description under man
cobol .)
2. The -tps flag causes the Compaq COBOL compiler to use an external file
handler (produced by a third party), providing increased flexibility in cross
platform, transaction processing application development. See Section 1.2.2.3
for more information.
3. The -xref and -xref_stdout flags direct the Compaq COBOL compiler
to generate a data file that the Compaq FUSE Database Manager uses to
create a static analysis database file. This improves the performance of the
Compaq FUSE Call Graph Browser and the Compaq FUSE Cross-Referencer,
which use the database file for their operations. See the Compaq FUSE
documentation for more information on the Compaq FUSE static analysis
database, the Compaq FUSE Cross-Referencer and Compaq FUSE Call Graph
Browser.
Specifying the -xref_stdout option directs the compiler to output the data
file to standard output.
