Input File Control

The input file control directives are:

%include string

%addincludepath string

The %include directive searches the path for the target file specified by string

and includes the contents of the file inline at the point where the

%include

statement appears.

The

%addincludepath directive adds an additional include path to be searched

when the Target Language Compiler references

%include or block target files.

The syntax is:

%addincludepath string

The string can be an absolute path or an explicit relative path. For example,

to specify an absolute path, use:

%addincludepath "C:\directory1\directory2" (PC)

%addincludepath "/directory1/directory2" (UNIX)

%addincludepath "directory1:directory2" (Macintosh)

To specify a relative path, the path must explicitly start with “

.” on the PC or

UNIX, or “

:” on the Macintosh. For example:

%addincludepath ".\directory2" (PC)

%addincludepath "./directory2" (UNIX)

%addincludepath ":directory2" (Macintosh)

When an explicit relative path is specified, the directory that is added to the

Target Language Compiler search path is created by concatenating the

location of the target file that contains the

%addincludepath directive and the

explicit relative path.

The Target Language Compiler searches the directories in the following order

for target or include files:

The current directory

Any %addincludepath directives

Any include paths specified at the command line via –I
