DDL Compiler Commands

PAGE Command

The PAGE command directs the DDL compiler to list the next input line at the top of
the next page. Optionally, the PAGE command can also specify a page title.
PAGE [ "listing-title" ]
listing-title
is an ASCII character string. Quotation marks must enclose the string.
PAGE Command Guidelines
The following points are guidelines for using the PAGE command:
The PAGE command can be placed anywhere in the DDL source listing.
When DDL encounters a PAGE command, it stops listing on the current page,
issues a page-ejection character to the listing destination, and resumes listing at
the top of the next page.
If a title is specified, DDL lists that title at the top of every subsequent page until it
encounters another PAGE command with a different listing title.
PAGE Command Example
The following PAGE command specifies a listing title:
?PAGE "DEFINITIONS"
Each subsequent listing page has the title DEFINITIONS until DDL encounters another
PAGE command with a new title.

PASCAL Command

The PASCAL command instructs the DDL compiler to:
Create and open a Pascal source file or open an existing Pascal source file.
Translate all subsequent statements that define DDL objects into Pascal source
statements.
Translate any DDL objects specified in subsequent OUTPUT statements into
Pascal source statements.
Write the Pascal statements to the Pascal source file.
