Override compiler options in REXX source /*%?

Postby Steve Coalbran » Tue Apr 09, 2013 4:18 pm

I have been RTFMing like mad but getting nowhere.
In ENDEVOR - I want to override the NOSLINE compiler option which seems to be set without any (obvious) Options-screen to change it.
To use the SOURCELINE function I need to set SLINE.
In PL/1 I could do a *PROCESS statement but I can find no such equivalent in REXX - although I thought there was one?!
A /*%PROCESS would be useful but can find no sign of anything similar in the various manuals I have scoured so far?!
H E L P ?!

unfortunately You will not find it because it is not there !

the only valid <inline> directives are
Control Directives
%COPYRIGHT
%INCLUDE
%PAGE
%STUB
%SYSDATE
%SYSTIME
%TESTHALT


I do not know how endevor works

For SCLM the result is achieved by defining different <languages> which implied different build processes
<language> in SCLM terminology, really defines the BUILD process, not the Programming or whatsoever language of the source

Thanks Enrico - yes, probably it's the same in Endevor (different Processor Group needed) but I'm still green there (being all-blue after 35 years in IBM).
I tried asking the local Endevor gurus but no help forthcoming... yet!

Stevie-baby!
Further to my e-mail - now that I have read your post it is most definitely an Endevor setup thing (in my useless opinion) in the processor group area so it will be your Endevor guys. Get them reading the manuals for a change!
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Nic,
Just playing around a bit
I knew that You would not have done it, without the proper friendliness level :)

Steve,
You do not really look like a beginner to me
