HP Transact Reference Manual

Chapter 9  Running Transact 

A Transact program must be compiled before it can be executed.  On MPE V
systems, the Transact/V compiler must convert the source code into
intermediate processor code (p-code) which is interpreted by the
Transact/V processor at run time.  On MPE/iX systems, the Transact/iX
compiler generates a native mode program file.  The Transact/V compiler
and processor may be used in compatibility mode on MPE/iX systems.

This chapter explains how to compile and run Transact programs using
Transact/V and Transact/iX, including

   *   Compiler commands
   *   Program segmentation
   *   Reserved file names
   *   The Transact/V compiler
   *   Executing Transact/V programs
   *   The Transact/iX compiler
   *   Controlling Transact/iX program execution
   *   Compiling and executing Transact/iX programs
   *   Compiler listings

The key differences between Transact/V and Transact/iX are detailed in
Appendix B, "Native Mode Transact/iX Migration Guide."
