Compiling BASIC Programs

Before you can run a BASIC program, you must compile it with the InfoSphere® DataStage® BASIC compiler. The compiler takes your source code as input and produces executable object code.

Use the InfoSphere DataStage command CREATE.FILE to create a type 1 or type 19 file in which to store the source code of your BASIC programs. You can create and edit the source code with an operating system editor (such as vi), the InfoSphere DataStage Editor, or a combination of the two.
