3.1.6. Pre‑executing a SET directive
You can instruct the assembler to pre‑execute one of the SET directives using the following option:
‑‑predefine "directive"
You must enclose directive in quotes. See SETA, SETL, and SETS. The assembler also executes a corresponding GBLL, GBLS, or GBLA directive to define the variable before setting its value.
The variable name is case‑sensitive.
Note
The command line interface of your system might require you to enter special character combinations, such as \”, to include strings in directive. Alternatively, you can use ‑‑via file to include a ‑‑predefine argument. The command line interface does not alter arguments from ‑‑via files.
