<$.COMPILE option>

── $.COMPILE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

The $.COMPILE option causes the PATCH utility to automatically start the compilation of the TAPE or SOURCE file with the PATCH file if no fatal errors are discovered. See “Files Used by the PATCH Utility” for information on the selection of the SOURCE or TAPE file. The CARD and TAPE files are file-equated automatically by the PATCH utility. Other information for the compilation must be passed by $* records supplied by you.

The $.COMPILE and $.EXECUTE options cannot be TRUE at the same time.

Example

 $. SET COMPILE
 $* COMPILE M/A WITH ALGOL LIBRARY
 $* ALGOL FILE NEWTAPE (TITLE = S/M/A)
