Option

Result

A

Automatically executes the program if compilation was successful.

C="command"

Creates a PLC with a header that includes the "command" line specified.

B

Force a compiler error instead of a compiler warning when the compiler processes the operand of a %IFDEF, %IFNDEF, CIFDEF, or CIFNDEF directive and the data label is not terminated with a blank.

D

Display the source lines on the screen during compilation.

E

Output only those lines that generate errors to the print device/file.

E={nn}

Allows compiler default source extension to be changed to nn}.

F

Output false 'IF' lines with an 'F' after the line number.

I

Do not output warning messages.

L

Output all source lines to the print device/file.

L={nn}

Define label size as {nn} bytes. Thirty-two (32) is the assumed size.

N

No Duplicate default for IFILEs (PREPAREd IFILEs have NODUP bit set).

O

Output the generated code to the print device/file.

P

Direct the output to a spool file ({prt} or default).

Q

Append the output to an existing print file. If the specified {print} or default spool file does not exist, it is created.

R

If this compiler option is used, the compiler generates a PLC with a header setting that causes a 9.7 runtime version or later to give an U68 error when the restricted '.plc' program is being executed from a PLB runtime command line. The intended use of the restricted PLC is to protect from misuse or probing for PLB applications\programs by unauthorized end-users. A restricted PLC can be loaded and executed using PLB CHAIN and\or LOADMOD operations.

S

Generate a symbol table file for use with PLBDBUG.

S=0

Generate an encrypted symbol table file for use with PLBDBUG.

T

Automatically invoke 'pxlat' program to convert from forward byte order to reverse byte order. This option is automatically added to the compile line by the PLBCMP script on forward byte order machines and should not be used on reverse byte order machines.

V

Generate EQUATEd labels from the command line. The format is "VNAME=value" where 'name' is the label name and 'value' is the EQUATEd value.

WE={0|1}

This compiler option disables support for open ended numeric expressions. By default, the 10.4B PL/B compiler supports and allows open ended numeric expressions the same as using 'WE=1'. If the 'WE=0' compiler is used, the compiler does not allow the open ended numeric expression syntax in a program. (10.4B)

WF=0

This option causes the compiler to invoke the normal/default behaviors when processing embedded comments which can exist at the end of PL/B instructions. The normal compiler behavior is to ignore any text at the end of a PL/B instruction that is separated by a blank character from the normal expected instruction syntax.

WF=1

This option causes the compiler to give a warning for embedded comments that exist at the end of a PL/B instruction as follows:

1) The compiler only checks embedded comments in LFUNCTION and FUNCTION instructions.

2) The compiler gives a warning if the embedded comments do not have a leading comment delimiter character of '//', ';', '.', or '+'.

WF=2

This option causes the compiler to give a warning for embedded comments that exist at the end of a PL/B instruction as follows:

1) The compiler checks embedded comments in PL/B instructions for all program source being compiler.

2) The compiler gives a warning if the embedded comments do not have a leading comment delimiter character of '//', ';', '.', or '+'.

WF=3

This option causes the compiler to give a warning for embedded comments that exist at the end of a PL/B instruction as follows:

1) The compiler checks embedded comments in PL/B instructions for all program source being compiler.

2) The compiler gives a warning if the embedded comments do not have a leading comment delimiter character of '//'.

WH="nnn,mmm,..."

 This compiler option is used so WARNING messages specified in the comma delimited string are ignored by the compiler. For this option, the 'nnn', 'mmm', etc decimal values are warning numbers found in the 'plberrors.xml' file. The double quotes in the delimited string are required.

WS

Generate program meta data which is stored in the 'program.plbm' output file. The '.plbm' data is used to enhance the development of PL/B programs. The PLBCMP compiler ignores any WS{=n} options when the compiler is executed by a PL/B Linux/Linux runtime. (10.3)

WS=0

Do not generate any program PL/B meta data. (10.3)

WS=1

Generate program meta data which is stored in the 'program.plbm' output file. The '.plbm' data is used by the SunIDE to enhance the development of PL/B programs. (10.3)

WS=2

Generate program meta data which is stored in the 'program.plc' output file. The PLBM data is appended to the end of the actual PLC program which can be used by the SunIDE to enhance the development of PL/B programs. (10.3)

wu

This option sest a PLC program header flag to save a copy of the UDA when a PLC program is loaded. This option is required to allow the MODULE object 'InitializeUda' method to restore a programs UDA (User Data Area) to its original state/values.

X

Generate a Cross Reference Listing.

Y

Abort compile upon detection of first error.

Y{=nn}

Abort compile upon detection of {nn} errors.

ZA={nnnnn}

Default buffer size for all IFILE and AFILE declarations.

ZC

Causes the compiler to compile in Datapoint DOS mode.

ZC=0

Causes the compiler to compile in Sunbelt mode.

ZC=1

Causes the compiler to compile in Datapoint DOS mode.

ZC=2

Causes the compiler to compile in Datapoint RMS mode.

ZC=3

Causes the compiler to compile in DBC compatibility mode.

ZD

Override the LISTOFF directive to create a complete listing.

ZG

Allow Graphical User Interface (GUI) extensions to PL/B to be compiled.

ZH

Delete output file if errors were encountered during compile.

ZI[={nn}]

Pause {nn} seconds for errors and statistics. Default 5 seconds.

ZJ

This option changes the default Auto Load DIM size of a DIM. The Auto Load DIM is used when a DIM variable is created as the program is loaded. By default the compiler forces a DIM variable to be an Auto Load DIM when the DIM size is larger than 65,535 bytes. The ZJ option changes this default value. If the ZJ option is used without the 'nnnnn' value, the default Auto Load DIM size is set to 256. If the 'nnnnn' value is specified, the 'nnnnn' value is used as the Auto Load DIM default size. See "DIM" in the language reference for additional information.

ZL

This option causes the compiler to delete a spooled file listing output if a program compiled without any errors. This option only takes affect when the 'p' option is specified.

ZM

Allow multiple character traps in program.

ZN

Run the compiler in NOCOLOR mode for compiler display.

ZP={nnn}

Specifies the printed output right most column boundary at which a source line wrap operation is controlled by the compiler. If the value of 'nnn' is zero, the compiler printed wrap output disabled. A value of zero is the default if this option is not specified. With the exception of zero, any value of 'nnn' less than 50 is reset to be 50.

ZQ[={level]]

Execute in a quiet mode where no heading nor statistics data is displayed. In this mode, only errors and warnings for the compilation are displayed. {level} is an optional level value. This modification allows a specification of 'ZQ=1' that causes the compiler to suppress all displayed output except for the line counter. This change is being made to provide a compilation activity indication.

ZR="{string}"

Allows specification of up to two (2) characters for the {string} that identifies a comment delimiter used for embedded source line comments. The option also accepts a string that contains user defined comment delimiter characters. The delimiter characters in the ZR string must be separated by a blank character. A compiler error occurs if the ZR string format is invalid.

Example of ZR option:

plbcon plbcmp prog -ZR="//"

plbcon plbcmp prog -ZR="// ; . +"

plbcon plbcmp prog -ZR="//;."      ;Compiler Error!

ZS

Allow case sensitive labels. Default is non case sensitive labels.

ZT

Open include files in READ only mode. Default is EXCLUSIVE mode.

ZU

Include expanded MACRO source statements when a macro is invoked. When this option is not specified, the default action of the compiler is to not output expanded MACRO source statements when a macro is invoked.

ZV[{=|#|:}{0|1|2}]

Produce an error when the label for any of the following data variable types are the same as a language flag name. This option affects the label detection for the following: CONST, DIM, EQU, FORM, INIT, and INTEGER.

Optional clarification values that identify label name conflicts with the PLB Condition Flag and Function Key names in enhanced expressions. The 'zv' option has been changed as follows:

-zv - Gives error for label declares that conflict with condition flag and function key names.

-zv#0 - Warning for expressions with a variable that overrides condition flag usage.

-zv#1 - Warning for expressions with a variable that overrides function key names.

-zv#2 - Warning for expressions with a variables that override either condition flag or function key names.

ZW={nnn}

Specifies the displayed output right most column boundary at which a source line wrap operation is controlled by the compiler. If the value of 'nnn' is zero, the compiler displayed wrap output is disabled. A value of zero is the default if this option is not specified. With the exception of zero, any value of 'nnn' less than 50 is reset to be 50.

ZX

Prevent the compiler from storing a timestamp into the PLC output program module.

"xx"

The information between the quotes ("") is the TITLE for the output.

nnn

Number of lines per page for the output.
