MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volume I
FTNXL
Compiles an HP FORTRAN 77/iX program. HP FORTRAN 77/iX is not part of
the 900 Series HP 3000 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and
must be purchased separately. This command is recognized only if HP
FORTRAN 77/iX is installed on your system. (Native Mode)
Syntax
FTNXL [textfile][,[objectfile][,[listfile]]] [;INFO=quotedstring]
NOTE This command follows the optional MPE/iX command line syntax.
Refer to "Optional Format for MPE/iX Commands" at the beginning of
this chapter.
Parameters
textfile Actual file designator of the input file from which
the source program is read. This can be any ASCII
input file. Formal file designator is FTNTEXT.
Default is $STDIN.
objectfile Actual file designator of the object file, which is
the output of the compiler. This file is stored in
binary form and has a file code of either NMOBJ
(1461) or NMRL (1033). Its formal file designator
is FTNOBJ. If the objectfile parameter is omitted,
the object code is saved to the temporary file
$OLDPASS if it exists, or to $NEWPASS which then
becomes $OLDPASS.
If you specify objectfile, the compiler stores the
object file in a permanent file of the correct
size, type, and name you specified.
If either a file of the same name or the default
file $OLDPASS already exists, the new object code
overwrites the old if the file code is NMOBJ or is
appended to the old if the file code is NMRL. If
the file code is NMRL, any existing version of the
code module is first purged.
The compiler may issue an error message telling you
that a new or existing object file is too small to
contain the compiler's output or number of modules.
In that case you must build a larger file or use
the Link Editor to clean the NMRL. You may then
recompile to the new file.
You may use the MPE/iX SAVE command to store
$OLDPASS as a permanent file under another name.
listfile Actual file designator of the file to which the
program listing is written. This can be any ASCII
output file. Formal file designator is FTNLIST.
Default is $STDLIST.
quotedstring A string of no more than 255 characters (including
the single or double quotation marks that enclose
it).
The info string used in the HP FORTRAN 77/iX
programming language to pass initial compiler
options to the HP FORTRAN 77/iX compiler.
HP FORTRAN 77/iX places a single dollar sign ($)
before the info string and places the string before
the first line of source code in the text file.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (FTNTEXT, FTNOBJ,
and FTNLIST) cannot be backreferenced as actual file designators in
the command parameter list. For further information, refer to the
"Implicit FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the FILE
command.
Operation Notes
The FTNXL command compiles an HP FORTRAN 77/iX program and stores the
object code in a source file on disk. If textfile is not specified,
MPE/iX expects the source program to be entered from your standard input
($STDIN). If you do not specify listfile, MPE/iX sends the listing to
your standard list device ($STDLIST) and identifies it by the formal file
designator, FTNLIST. If you omit the objectfile parameter, the object
code is saved in the file domain as $OLDPASS. To keep it as a permanent
file, you save $OLDPASS under another name.
NOTE This command is implemented as a command file. If you set the
HPPATH variable to null (SETVAR HPPATH ""), the command file is not
executed, and the command fails.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, or program. It may not
be used in BREAK. Pressing Break suspends the execution of this command.
Entering the RESUME command continues the execution.
Examples
The following example compiles an HP FORTRAN 77/iX program entered from
your standard input device and stores the object program in the object
file $OLDPASS. The listing is then sent to your standard list device.
FTNXL
The next example compiles an HP FORTRAN 77/iX program contained in the
disk file FORTSRC, and stores the object program in the object file
FORTOBJ. The program listing is stored in the disk file LISTFILE.
FTNXL FORTSRC,FORTOBJ,LISTFILE
NOTE Program development in native mode uses the MPE/iX LINK command not
the MPE V/E PREP command. This produces a significant change in
the method of linking code.
If you have created a program called MAIN and a subprogram called SUB,
each contained in a separate file, you might choose to handle it this way
in MPE V/E:
FTN MAIN, SOMEUSL
FTN SUB, SOMEUSL
:
PREP SOMEUSL, SOMEPROG
:
RUN SOMEPROG
The second command appends the code from SUB to SOMEUSL.
However, LINK (in MPE/iX native mode) does not append SUB. On MPE/iX, you
must compile the source files into separate object files and then use the
Link Editor to link the two object files into the program file, as in
this example:
FTNXL MAIN, OBJMAIN
FTNXL SUB, OBJSUB
:
LINK FROM=OBJMAIN,OBJSUB;TO=SOMEPROG
:
RUN SOMEPROG
On the other hand, if an NMRL is used instead of an NMOBJ, the above can
be simplified to the following:
BUILD RLFILE;DISC=10000;CODE=NMRL
FTNXL MAIN, RLFILE
FTNXL SUB, RLFILE
LINK RLFILE,SOMEPROG
RUN SOMEPROG
