The RUN Command

After you have successfully compiled your program, you can run it from the InfoSphere® DataStage® system level with the RUN command. Enter the RUN command at the system prompt. The syntax is as follows:

RUN [ filename ] program [ options ]

The RUN command appends .O to filename and executes the record containing object code in filename.O . If filename is omitted, the default file, BP, is assumed.

program is the name of the source code of the program. options can be one or more of the following:

NO.WARN

Suppresses all warning (nonfatal) messages.

NO.PAGE

Turns off automatic paging. Programs that position the cursor with @ functions do not need to disable pagination.

LPTR

Spools program output to the printer rather than to the terminal screen.

KEEP.COMMON

If the program is executed from within a chain, links the unnamed common.

TRAP

Causes the program to enter the interactive debugger, RAID, whenever a nonfatal error occurs.

For example, the following command executes the record MAIN in the BP.O file:

>RUN BP MAIN

Run-time error messages are printed on the terminal screen as they are encountered, unless the NO.WARN keyword was specified.
