System-wide File
The compiler looks for a system-wide file called PASCNTL.PUB.SYS on
MPE/iX or /usr/lib/pasopts on HP-UX. If the file exists and is not empty,
the compiler opens and reads the file. The file should[REV BEG] contain
only compiler options[REV END] and comments. If there is anything else
in the file, the compiler emits an error message.
On MPE/iX the message is:
[REV BEG]
ONLY COMMENTS AND COMPILER OPTIONS ARE ALLOWED IN `PASCNTL.PUB.SYS' (045)
[REV END]
On HP-UX the message is:
[REV BEG]
ONLY COMMENTS AND COMPILER OPTIONS ARE ALLOWED IN /usr/lib/pasopts (045)
[REV END]
The file is shipped empty and does not need to contain anything. If the
file is empty, the compiler does not attempt to open it.
However, if compiler[REV BEG] options have been added to the file, the
compiler processes these options[REV END] before anything else, even the
info string. Therefore, you can override the[REV BEG] options in the
file because later options take[REV END] precedence over earlier options.
