The REPRO instruction causes the data specified in the statement that follows to be copied unchanged into the object file.
|
The REPRO instruction can appear anywhere in a source module. One REPRO instruction produces one punched record, but as many REPRO instructions as necessary can be used. Records are created as the object file is being created, so records may be interspersed among object code. These records are part of the object file, but are not intended to contain normal object code or symbols.
The statement to be reproduced can contain any of the 256 characters in the EBCDIC character set, including spaces, ampersands, and single quotation marks. Unlike the PUNCH instruction, the REPRO instruction does not allow values to be substituted into variable symbols before the record is punched.
