Generates the IL for a program with a main program entry point or for a library without one.

| +-SUB---+
+--NOILGEN-------+
Parameters:

- Indicates that a program with a main entry point is being compiled
- SUB
- Indicates that a library is being compiled, which doesn't require a main program entry point

ILGEN sets DOTNET.
Comments:
This directive is always used when you build a project from the IDE. If a program doesn't require a main program entry point, use the SUB parameter.
This directive is comparable to the ILMAIN directive: ILGEN"SUB" is equivalent to NOILMAIN.
This directive is not allowed in the $SET statement. You must specify ILGEN on the command line.
