Examples

This example compiles a batch program to qualify tables using MAINFRAME and DATE options.

mfplx TESTPGM.PLI –sql odbc –optsql "BEHAVIOR=OPTIMIZED  DATE=USA"

This example compiles three subroutines and a main program that calls routines to object files so it can be linked.

mfplx testpgm0.pli -sql odbc –optsql  "BEHAVIOR=OPTIMIZED DATE=USA"  –c
mfplx testsub1.pli -sql odbc -optsql  "BEHAVIOR=OPTIMIZED DATE=USA " –c
mfplx testsub2.pli -sql odbc –optsql  "BEHAVIOR=OPTIMIZED DATE=USA " –c
mfplx testsub3.pli -sql odbc -optsql  "BEHAVIOR=OPTIMIZED DATE=USA " –c

This example to links the object files and creates an executable file.

ldpli testpgm0.obj testsub1.obj testsub2.obj testsub3.obj -out:test.exe
