Listing generated code from ALGOL compiler

[Peter...@hotmail.com]

I've been trying to turn on the listing of generated code on a simple factorial program written in ALGOL. From what I've read, I need a $SET LIST DEBUGN  option card before the program text and after the ?DATA CARD card (see below.) I don't see any generated code. 

?COMPILE QUIRK/FACT WITH ALGOL

?DATA CARD

$SET LIST DEBUGN

BEGIN

    INTEGER PROCEDURE FACTORIAL(N); INTEGER N;

    BEGIN

        INTEGER I, FACT;

        FACT := 1;

        FOR I := 2 STEP 1 UNTIL N DO

            FACT := FACT | I; COMMENT | IS MULTIPLY ;

        FACTORIAL := FACT

    END;

    INTEGER I;

    FILE PRINT 4(2,15);

    FORMAT FMT(I2,X3,I10);

    FOR I:=1 STEP 1 UNTIL 10 DO WRITE(PRINT, FMT, I, FACTORIAL(I));

    END.

?END

Sid McHarg pointed out that I should have used $CARD LIST PRT SINGLE DEBUGN instead of $SET ...

With the 

BURROUGHS B-5700 ALGOL COMPILER MARK XV.3.00   THURSDAY, 09/07/23,

compiler, this did the trick for me:

$CARD LIST PRT SINGLE DEBUGN

Might you be using a newer compiler where DEBUGN may have been replaced by CODE if an effort for compatibility with the B65/B6700?

In looking at the XV.3 Algol compiler it appears the implementation included several new dollar options:

$SET, $RESET, and $POP

$OMIT

$BEND - which prints the sequence number of the corresponding BEGIN when the END is encountered

A short example program listing is attached.
