STDSYS

The STDSYS option specifies that the compiler should cause the SYSPRINT file to be equated to the C stdout file and the SYSIN file to be equated to the C stdin file.

Note: Under the LP(64) option, the STDSYS option is ignored; effectively, STDSYS is always on.

Using the STDSYS option might make it easier to develop and debug a mixed PL/I and C application.

When SYSPRINT is equated to stdout, its LINESIZE cannot be greater than 132 (the largest value allowed by C).
