Purpose

This translator provides an interface to the Jovial compiler. The translator provides memory management for the compiler. The Jovial compiler can require a single large contiguous area of memory in which to work. FLMTMJI attempts to provide an area of memory at least 512K for the compiler.

Consider using this translator to invoke the Jovial compiler if you receive abends from the compiler. The abends typically result from large builds.

This translator assumes that the entry point name of the Jovial compiler is JOVIAL. Furthermore, FLMTMJI must be in the same load module data set as the Jovial compiler unless the compiler is in the MVS™ link pack area (LPA).

Parameters

FLMTMJI passes its parameters directly to the Jovial compiler. You should pass the parameters you would normally send directly to the compiler.

Return codes

FLMTMJI uses the Jovial compiler return codes with the exception of return code 64.
