OACOMP is a console based application that compiles an environment source file into a compiled Environment Catalog.

This operation occurs in three phases:

• The parsing phase checks the source file for valid syntax.
• The validation phase checks for unresolved references.
• The compilation phase creates and writes out the physical Environment Catalog.

oacomp <Source File> <Object File> [<List File>]

Source File is the uncompiled environment source detailing the database, tables and columns, and other pertinent information used by Omnidex. A .src extension is assumed and will automatically be appended to the end of the supplied file name.

Object File is the name of the output file, the compiled environment catalog. If omitted, the output file will be the same as the source file with a .env extension.

List File is an optional message file where compiler messages will be written to. If omitted, messages will be displayed to the console window.

Running OACOMP

Run OACOMP from the command line with the environment source file as an argument.

If passing the source file by itself, taking the default output file, do not include the .src suffix.

If passing the source file and the output file, include both the .src suffix for the source file and the .env suffix for the output file.
