Also, there might be some issues (possibly) since you use + to
provide several files. I *think* that the '+' operator in general
would imply that the files are concatenated together, and a comma
might be a better separator to use.
No, in the DCL command, + is correct. The meaning of + is that you're
listing several files that contribute to a single output, while comma
means you're doing several separate operations.
I believe the following are both legal:
macro a,b,c
macro a+b+c
The first does three assemblies: a, then b, then c, producing three
separate outputs; the second does a single assembly using files a, b,
and c as the inputs.
Thanks for the clarification. I think that I said something that ends up
meaning the same thing, but my wording was probably totally confusing.
Either way, in this case that cannot be the problem anyway, but using
'+' with a library file seems somewhat "odd", but that might just be me.
Right now I'm curious to just get confirmed if the library file indeed
holds the macro.
Interesting detail for those curios. In DCL under RSX, "," and "+" are
equivalent for MACRO-11, and the name of the output will actually be the
last file in the list.
PDP-11 C on the other hand do handle "," and "+" the way you describe
it, Paul. (In RSX)
