HP System Dictionary/XL General Reference Manual Vol 2 - Part 1 SDINIT (32256-90005)

11- 98
COMPILE-TO
Specifies the compiled dictionary.
Syntax
COMPILE-TO {[;]DICTIONARY=compiled-dictionary-filename} {.}
Parameters
compiled-dictionary-filename Filename of the compiled dictionary to be created. There is no default for
this param eter. When the COMPILE command is specified, if the file already exists,
an error message will be written to $STDLIST, telling you that it already exists. If
you are running SDUTIL in session mode, you can then reenter the COMPILE-TO
command, specifying a different filename for the compiled dictionary. Alternately,
you can either purge or rename the existing dictionary and then reenter the
COMPILE command. Note that it is not necessary to respecify the compiled
dictionary file name, as this environment still exists from the previous entry.
If you are running SDUTIL in batch mode and the file already exists, the COMPILE
command will fail, but SDUTIL will continue to process other SDUTIL commands.
Discussion
Before starting a batch mode job, you may want to make sure that the target dictionary does not already
exist by using the PURGE or RENAME command. You can, instead, include one of these commands in the
batch job command file before the COMPILE-TO command.
Note that the names of both master and compiled dictionaries are limited to six characters instead of the
MPE limit of eight, as System Dictionary appends two characters to these names.
