COMPILE

How to:

The COMPILE command creates a compiled procedure allocated to ddname FOCCOMP. You can reduce the time needed to start a procedure that contains Winforms by compiling the procedure. The more frequently the procedure will be run, the more time you save by compiling it.

Because COMPILE only compiles Maintain procedures with a file type or ddname of FOCEXEC, we recommend that you use the MNTCON COMPILE command. See MNTCON COMPILE.

This command is outside the Maintain language, but is described here for your convenience. You cannot issue this command within a Maintain procedure.
