[ ,PRIMARY ]

The PRIMARY option enables the user to file selectively a record which is associated with more than one output file. The 'FILE record.name' command will file records belonging to more than one output file only in those files where PRIMARY has been specified for that record.name. If PRIMARY is not used with the record.name in any file, the record will be filed in all output files with which it is associated.

[ ,NO CONTROL WORD ]

This option notifies the system not to produce the standard control word for the variable length output record.

D. SPECIF Environment Card

  1. The SPECIF card is used to describe load time I/O options for the designated file. SPECIF cards are not necessary for correct compilation of a Commercial Translator program; the user may elect to punch the required load time cards himself rather than allowing the compiler to do so on the basis of SPECIF cards. The SPECIF card(s) may appear anywhere within the environment division. The general form of the SPECIF card is:

    Name    Type      Description

        SPECIF    file.name  [ ,UNIT1 'unit.1' ]  [ ,UNIT2 'unit.2' ]

                  [ ,{LOW}  ]   [ ,DEFER ]   [ ,OPENW ]   [ ,OPENF ]
                     {HIGH}

                  [ ,{CLOSER} ]   [ ,ACTIVITY nn ]   [ ,{CHECKC} ]   [ ,MULTI ]
                     {CLOSEW}                            {CHECKF}

                  [ ,SEQ ]   [ ,CKSUMS ]

                  [ ,{LABELS} ]   [ ,SERIAL 'ser.no' ]   [ ,REEL 'reel.no' ]
