[mod.computers.vax] SDL processor

POSTMASTER%UK.AC.RHBNC.VAXA@AC.UK (08/11/86)

Does anybody have a compiler for SDL files ?  I've typed in an SDL file
from the VMS fiche, but can't process it.  Can anybody help ?

The VMS SDL command has a qualifier, /NOPARSE, which invokes SDLNPARSE.EXE
instead of SDL.EXE.  SDLNPARSE.EXE is distributed with VMS.  I know that much
from looking at the VMS FORTRAN installation procedure, which uses SDL/NOPARSE
to build FORSYSDEF.  I don't how SDL works though.

I've investigated the /NOPARSE option, but it doesn't seem to help much.
It appears to require an already-parsed file (of type .SDI, rather than .SDL),
and also requires a shareable image appropriate to the language for which
one is trying to generate code.  I imagine I'll need the shareable image
anyway, but I also need the parsing variant.  ** Phil.
