Why we use NAME Compiler Option?
-
(1) Use NAME to generate a link-edit NAME card for each object module.
-
(2) You can also use NAME to generate names for each load module when you are doing batch compilations.
-
(3) When NAME is specified, a NAME card is appended to each object module that is created
-
(4) All the above.
The NAME compiler option serves multiple purposes: generating link-edit NAME cards for object modules, creating names for load modules during batch compilations, and appending NAME cards to created object modules. Since all three statements are true and describe the option's functionality, All the above is correct.
To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) (1) Use NAME to generate a link-edit NAME card for each object module. This option is correct. The NAME compiler option can be used to generate a link-edit NAME card for each object module. This allows the programmer to specify a name for the object module that can be used during the link-edit process.
Option B) (2) You can also use NAME to generate names for each load module when you are doing batch compilations. This option is incorrect. The NAME compiler option is used to generate a link-edit NAME card for each object module, not for generating names for load modules during batch compilations.
Option C) (3) When NAME is specified, a NAME card is appended to each object module that is created. This option is correct. When the NAME compiler option is specified, a NAME card is appended to each object module that is created. This allows the programmer to specify a name for the object module.
Option D) (4) All the above. This option is correct. Both option A and option C are correct statements about the use of the NAME compiler option.
The correct answer is D) (4) All the above. This option is correct because it includes all the correct statements about the use of the NAME compiler option.
