To use a single-quote string literal with /CONSTANT, enclose the entire
name=value clause in double quotes to prevent DCL from trying to perform
symbol substitution when it sees the single-quote character. For example:
$ PASCAL/CONSTANT="MSG=’Single-quoted literal’"
In this case, the double quotes are discarded by the compiler, and the singlequoted string literal is processed. However, using double-quoted literals with
/CONSTANT is easier and more flexible.
The extended-string syntax for string literals is not supported on the command
line. The extended-string syntax is as follows:
{’printing-string’({constant-expression},...)}...
{"printing-string"({constant-expression},...)}...
These extended-string literals are constant expressions, not simple literals.
To insert nonprintable characters into a string literal from the command line,
you can use a double-quoted string literal and the \xnn escape sequence.
/[NO]CROSS_REFERENCE
/NOCROSS_REFERENCE (default)
Produces a cross-reference section within the listing file. The compiler ignores
this qualifier if you do not also specify /LIST on the same command line.
/[NO]DEBUG
/DEBUG=TRACEBACK (default)
Specifies that the compiler is to generate information for use by the debugger
and the run-time error traceback mechanism. A single identifier or a list of
identifiers enclosed in parentheses can follow /DEBUG; these identifiers are
the names of options that inform the compiler which type of information it
should generate.
Table 1–4 lists the available options, their corresponding actions, and their
negations.
