ALLBASE/SQL Pascal Application Programming Guide

Compiling and Linking the Program 

Figure 1-3 summarizes the steps in creating an executable ALLBASE/SQL
Pascal program from the files created by the Pascal preprocessor.


          Figure 1-3.  Compile-Time and Linking-Time Events 

You submit to the Pascal compiler a modified source code file and related
include files created by the preprocessor.  The compiler then generates
an object code module.  To convert object code modules into an executable
program, link them after compilation by invoking the linker.  This step
creates an executable program file.

In the following example, an executable program named SomeProg is created
after a module named Pgmr1@AcctDB.SomeMod is stored by the Pascal
preprocessor in a DBEnvironment named SomeDBE.GroupDB.AcctDB. The program
is in the GroupP group.

     :HELLO PGMR1.AcctDB,GroupP 
      .
      .
     :RUN PSQLPAS.PUB.SYS; INFO = 'SomeDBE.GroupDB (MODULE(SOMEMOD))' 
      .
      .
     :PASXLLK ModifiedSourceCodeFile,SOMEPROG,$NULL
