-V
This option causes the Assembler to report assembly progress (beginning
of passes, opening and closing of input files) to the standard error output
stream. This is useful to insure that assembly is proceeding normally.
Example:
ASM56000
-V
myprog.asm
Assemble the file MYPROG.ASM and send progress lines to the
standard error output.
-Z
This option causes the Assembler to strip symbol information from the ab-
solute load file. Normally symbol information is retained in the object file for
symbolic reference purposes. Note that this option is valid only when the
Assembler is in absolute mode via the
-A
command line option and when an
object file is created (
-B
option).
Example:
ASM56000
-A
-B
-Z
myprog.asm
Assemble the file MYPROG.ASM in absolute mode and strip symbol
information from the load file created as output.
<filenames>
A list of operating system compatible filenames (including optional path-
names). If no extension is supplied for a given file, the Assembler first will
attempt to open the file using the filename as supplied. If that is not success-
ful the Assembler appends .ASM to the filename and attempts to open the
file again. If no pathname is specified for a given file, the Assembler will look
for that file in the current directory. The list of files will be processed sequen-
tially in the order given and all files will be used to generate the object file
and listing.
The Assembler will redirect the output listing to the standard output if the output listing is
not suppressed with the
IL
option, or if it is not redirected via the
-L
command line option
described above. The standard output generally goes to the console or terminal screen
by default, but can be diverted to a file or to a printer by using the I/O redirection facilities
of the host operating system, if available. Error messages will always appear on the stan-
dard output, regardless of any option settings. Note that some options (
-B
,
-L
) allow a
hyphen as an optional argument which indicates that the corresponding output should be
sent to the standard output stream. Unpredictable results may occur if, for example, the
object file is explicitly routed to standard output while the listing file is allowed to default to
the same output stream.
