HP System Dictionary XL Gen. Ref. Vol. 2-Part 4 SDUTIL

COMPILE-TO 

Specifies the compiled dictionary.

Syntax 

     COMPILE-TO {[;]DICTIONARY=compiled-dictionary-filename} {.}

Parameters 

compiled-        Filename of the compiled dictionary to be created.
dictionary-      There is no default for this parameter.
filename 
                 When the COMPILE command is specified, if the file
                 already exists, an error message will be written to
                 $STDLIST, telling you that it already exists.

                 If you are running SDUTIL in session mode, you can then
                 reenter the COMPILE-TO command, specifying a different
                 filename for the compiled dictionary.  Alternately, you
                 can either purge or rename the existing dictionary and
                 then reenter the COMPILE command.  Note that it is not 
                 necessary to respecify the compiled dictionary file
                 name, as this environment still exists from the previous
                 entry.

                 If you are running SDUTIL in batch mode and the file
                 already exists, the COMPILE command will fail, but
                 SDUTIL will continue to process other SDUTIL commands.

Discussion 

Before starting a batch mode job, you may want to make sure that the
target dictionary does not already exist by using the PURGE or RENAME
command.  You can, instead, include one of these commands in the batch
job command file before the COMPILE-TO command.

Note that the names of both master and compiled dictionaries are limited
to six characters instead of the MPE limit of eight, as System Dictionary
appends two characters to these names.

Example 1 

     >COMPILE-TO dictionary=comp1. 
     >

Example 2 

     >COMPILE-TO dictionary=comp2 
     >COMPILE. 
     Dictionary file already exists (SDERR 5804)
     >PURGE comp2 
     >COMPILE.
