The syntax is as follows:
ceebldtx [-C csect_name] [-I secondary_file_name]
[-P] [-S] [-c class] [-d delimiter]
[-l BAL | C | COBOL | FORTRAN | PLI] [-s id]
in_file out_file
Note: ceebldtx utility is lowercase in the z/OS® UNIX interface
and only works with z/OS UNIX files; MVS™ data sets are not applicable.
- Operands
-
- in_file
- Required. The name of the file containing the message source.
- out_file
- Required. The name of the resulting assembler source file containing
the messages, inserts, and other items, suitable for input into the
High Level Assembler. Extension of ".s" is assumed if none is present.
- Options
-
- -C csect_name
-
This option is used to explicitly specify the CSECT name.
An uppercase version of the CSECT name will be used. By default,
the CSECT name is the output file base name.
A CSECT name
greater than 8 characters requires the use of the GOFF option when
assembling the out_file.
- -I secondary_file_name
- The name of the secondary input file generated for the language
specified with the -l (lowercase L) option. If no suffix is present
in the secondary_file_name specified, the extension will be ".h" for
C, ".fortran" for Fortran, and ".copy" for all others.
- -P
- This option is used to save previous prologs, if files being generated
already exist in the directory and contain prologs. By default, previous
prologs are not reused.
- -S
- This option is used to indicate sequence numbers should be generated
in the files produced. By default, no sequence numbers are generated.
- -c class
- This option is used to specify the default value for :msgclass.
in cases where the tag is not coded.
- -d APOST | ' | QUOTE | "
- This option is used to specify which COBOL delimiter to use. Used
in combination with the -l (lowercase L) COBOL option. By default,
APOST is used as the delimiter.
Note: Quotation marks should be escaped
to avoid them being treated as shell meta characters.
Examples:
ceebldtx -l COBOL -I secondary_file_name -d \' in_file out_file
ceebldtx -l COBOL -I secondary_file_name -d \" in_file out_file
ceebldtx -l COBOL -I secondary_file_name -d QUOTE in_file out_file
- -l BAL | C | COBOL | FORTRAN | PLI
- This options is used to specify the language to be used in generating
a secondary input file. Used in combination with the -I (uppercase
i) secondary_file_name option. The file will contain declarations
for the condition tokens associated with each message in the message
source file. The language is accepted in lower and upper case.
Note: C370
is also supported.
- -s id
- This option is used to specify the default value for :msgsubid.
in cases where the tag is not coded.
