PASCAL
Compiles a compatibility mode Pascal/V program. Pascal/V is not part of
the 900 Series HP 3000 Computer System Fundamental Operating Software and
must be purchased separately. The native mode equivalent of this command
is PASXL.
Syntax
PASCAL [textfile][,[uslfile][,listfile]] [;INFO=quotedstring]
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 PASTEXT.
Default is $STDIN. $STDIN is the current input
device, usually your terminal.
uslfile Actual file designator of the user subprogram
library (USL) file to which the object code is
stored. This can be any binary output file with a
file code of USL or 1024. Its formal file
designator is PASUSL. If the uslfile parameter is
omitted, the object code is saved to the temporary
file $OLDPASS. If entered, this parameter indicates
that the USL file was created in one of four ways:
* By using the MPE/iX SAVE command to save the
default USL file $OLDPASS, created during a
previous compilation.
* By building the USL with the MPE segmenter
-BUILDUSL command. Refer to the MPE
Segmenter Reference Manual (30000-90011).
* By creating a new USL file and specifying
the MPE/iX BUILD command with a file code of
USL or 1024.
* By specifying a nonexistent uslfile
parameter, thereby creating a permanent file
of the correct size and type.
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 PASLIST.
Default is $STDLIST. $STDLIST is usually the
terminal if you are running Pascal/V interactively,
or the printer if you are running a batch job.
quotedstring A sequence of characters between two single
quotation marks (apostrophes) or between two double
quotation marks. You may use the delimiter as part
of the string so long as the delimiter appears
twice. Any occurrence of two single or two double
quotation marks in a row is considered part of the
string, and, therefore, not the terminating
delimiter.
INFO=quotedstring is used in the Pascal programming
language to pass initial compiler options to a
program. Pascal/V brackets the quotedstring with
dollar signs and places it before the first line of
source code in the text file.
Operation Notes
The PASCAL command compiles a compatibility mode Pascal/V program and
stores the object code in a user subprogram library (USL) file on disk.
If textfile is not specified, MPE/iX expects the source program to be
entered from your standard input device. If you do not specify listfile,
MPE/iX sends the program listing to your standard list device and
identifies it by the formal file designator, PASLIST.
The formal file designators used in this command (PASTEXT, PASUSL, and
PASLIST) 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.
If you create the USL prior to compilation, you must specify a file code
of USL or 1024. If you omit the uslfile parameter, the object code is
saved in the temporary file domain as $OLDPASS. To keep it as a permanent
file, you must save $OLDPASS under another name.
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 a Pascal/V program entered from the
standard input device and stores the object code in the USL file
$OLDPASS. The listing is then sent to the standard list device.
PASCAL
The next example compiles a Pascal/V program contained in the disk file
PASCSRC, and stores the object code in the USL file PASCOBJ. The program
listing is stored in the disk file LISTFILE.
