3.2.3 Included Files

"Included files" are separate source programs which may be called by the INCLUDE meta-

command.

Upon encounter with the

INCLUDE metacommand in a source program, the Compiler fetches

the designated included file and then compiles the main source program while integrating that

included file to generate a user program.

You should specify the name of an included file by using the

REM $INCLUDE or

’$INCLUDE. In the included files, you can describe any of the statements and functions

except the

REM $INCLUDE and ’$INCLUDE.

If a compilation error occurs in an included file, it will be merely indicated on the line where the

included file is called by the

INCLUDE metacommand in the main source program, and neither

detailed information of syntax errors detected in the included files nor the cross reference list

will be outputted. It is, therefore, necessary to debug the individual included files carefully

beforehand.
