DDL Compiler Commands

Compiler commands provide information to the DDL compiler and select compilation
features. You can use compiler commands to:
Control the production of the data dictionary from a schema
Control what source to compile and how many compilation errors to allow
Control output of source code to DDL, REPORT, FUP, and host language
source files
Control the appearance and destination of the source listing and the schema report
Get descriptions of the DDL compiler commands
Get interactive access to the editor
You can place compiler commands anywhere within a DDL source file. You can also
pass them to the DDL compiler as part of the DDL run command, or you can enter
them at your terminal when you run DDL interactively.
Some DDL commands perform an action immediately, others set a condition flag that
controls subsequent action, and still others do both.
commands, grouping them according to the general functions they perform. It provides
a brief summary of each command and indicates whether the command acts
immediately (A) or sets a condition (S).
Note that many commands have a second form that begins with NO. You can set and
reset these commands as necessary.
The rest of this section presents detailed descriptions of the compiler commands in
alphabetic order. A description generally consists of the command syntax followed by a
list of guidelines and one or more examples.
