7.14 RULECOMP

Bartels AutoEngineer® Documentation

Name

rulecomp - Bartels Rule System Compiler

Synopsis

rulecomp srcfile [-l]

Description

The rulecomp compiler is used for translating Bartels Rule Specification source code.

rulecomp accepts the rule specification source file name srcfile as first argument. This file must have an extension of .rul, but this extension must not be included with the command line. rulecomp translates the rule specification source file and stores the defined rules and/or rule sets to a file named brules.vdb in the BAE programs directory. These rules can be applied by certain in-built BAE system functions and/or customer-defined User Language programs.

Options

Command line options of the Rule System Compiler consist of the dash (-) start character followed by the option specification. Single-character option specifications optionally followed by a mode or toggle number are often known as switches or flags.

Listing Option [-l]

The -l option is used to control the listing file output. Omitting this option suppresses listing output. The -l option generates a rule compilation listing file. The listing output file name is derived from the corresponding source code file name, with the original file name extension replaced by .lst. The listing file is for user information purposes only, i.e., it is not required by system.

Examples

Compilation of the rules defined in routstd.rul; the compiled rules are stored with the name routstd to the brules.vdb file of the BAE programs directory:

>  rulecomp routstd Return/Enter Key (CR)

Compilation of the rules defined in routstd.rul with listing file output (to routstd.lst); the compiled rules are stored with the name routstd to the brules.vdb file of the BAE programs directory:

>  rulecomp routstd -l Return/Enter Key (CR)

Files

brules.vdb -- BAE rules data file (in BAE programs directory)

Diagnosis

The error messages issued by rulecomp are intended to be self-explanatory.

Warnings

rulecomp is a powerful software tool for implementing rules for automatically generating and/or manipulating Bartels AutoEngineer design data. It is strongly recommended to test each new rule in a non-critical environment (test software installation, test jobs, backup of real jobs, etc.) until confidence in the rule is established for unrestricted use on real designs.
