You can call the precompiler from an assembler program by using a macro.

About this task

You can call the precompiler from an assembler program by using one of the macro instructions ATTACH, CALL, LINK, or XCTL.

To call the precompiler, specify DSNHPC as the entry point name. You can pass three address options to the precompiler; the following topics describe their formats. The options are addresses of:
  • A precompiler option list
  • A list of alternative DD names for the data sets that the precompiler uses
  • A page number to use for the first page of the compiler listing on SYSPRINT
