LINK-DAV batch command compiles a subprogram (function or routine) and places its object module into PowerBASIC object library MODULE.PBL. It "knows" and uses two hardcoded important locations:
All compiler and librarian technicalities were hardcoded inside the LINK-DAV batch command, so that there is no need to remember any of them or waste time to type them in. Compiler parameters were most carefully chosen and balanced once, and they could be forgotten thereafter for good. Librarian interactive annoyances were substituted by generated on-the-fly command file. The only required parameter is the name of the subprogram (function or routine) that is the source for the object module with the same name. LINK-DAV batch command provides a handy tool for support of the modular design of all PowerBASIC programs presented on this site.
Demo of LINK-DAV command operation can be found below the command text.
