Parameters:

userprog

The user program to be used as a precompiler

Example:
working-storage section.
01.
05 install-flag pic x comp-x.
05 install-params.
10 exit-proc-ptr usage procedure-pointer.
10 pic x.
01 p-exit-block.
03 p-block-size pic x(4) comp-5 value 16.
03 p-return-code pic x(4) comp-5.
03 p-rts-error pic x(4) comp-5.
03 p-exit-flags pic x(4) comp-5.
linkage section.
01 source-file pic x(256).
procedure division using source-file.
display source-file
* On exit the file specified in source-file is the one
* the compiler will actually compile
move "EMPLOY.BMS" to source-file
set exit-proc-ptr to entry "exitproc"
move 0 to install-flag
call "CBL_EXIT_PROC" using install-flag
install-params
end-call
* Zero means continue, non-zero abort
move 0 to return-code
exit program
.
exitproc section.
entry "exitproc".
display "in exit proc"
call "CBL_GET_EXIT_INFO" using p-exit-block
exit program
.
Comments:
The user program should return an external filename.
If userprog is not found, the compilation fails.
The user program can use CBL_EXIT_PROC to perform some post-build processing.
