In general; they produce object code. The compilers have to take advantage of object-specific features that are not available via the assembler syntax. The Dignus compilers produce assembler, and we have to provide our own assembler that not only is IBM compatible, but also has support for these features. And, due to the various complexities of IBM assembler syntax, it's frequently the case that the compile step is much faster than the assemble step. - Dave Rivers - -- rivers@dignus.com Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.com [What OS object features can't the usual IBM assemblers produce? -John]
