When running the VSBASIC compiler, you can use a number of options with the RUN command. Specify the options you want after the data set's descriptive qualifier (in this case, VSBASIC). Following is a list of operands and a description of each:

LPREC

specifies that long precision arithmetic calculations are required by the VSBASIC program.

SPREC

Default specifying that short precision arithmetic calculations are adequate for a VSBASIC program.

TEST

specifies that testing of a VSBASIC program is to be performed.

NOTEST

Default specifying that the TEST function is not desired with a VSBASIC program.

STORE

specifies that the VSBASIC compiler is to store an object program.

NOSTORE

Default specifying that the VSBASIC compiler is not to store an object program.

GO

Default specifying that the VSBASIC program is to receive control after compilation.

NOGO

specifies that the VSBASIC program is not to receive control after compilation.

SIZE(value)

specifies the number of 1000-byte blocks of VSBASIC user area where value is an integer of one to three digits.

PAUSE

specifies that the VSBASIC compiler is to prompt the terminal user between program chains, giving the user the chance to change certain compiler options.

NOPAUSE

Default specifying no prompting between program chains.

SOURCE

Default specifying that new VSBASIC source code is to be compiled.

OBJECT

specifies that the data set name entered is a fully-qualified name of an object data set to be executed by the VSBASIC compiler.
