PASCALGO
Compiles, prepares, and executes 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 PASXLGO.
Syntax
PASCALGO [textfile][,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.
PASTEXT cannot be backreferenced as an actual file
designator in the command parameter list. For
further information, refer to the "Implicit FILE
Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the FILE
command.
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 your
terminal if you are running Pascal/V interactively,
or the printer if you are running a batch job.
PASLIST cannot be backreferenced as an actual file
designator in the command parameter list. For
further information, refer to the "Implicit FILE
Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the FILE
command.
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/V
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 PASCALGO command compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility
mode Pascal/V program. If textfile is omitted,
MPE/iX expects input from your standard input device. If you do not
specify listfile, MPE/iX sends the program listing to the formal file
designator PASLIST (default is $STDLIST).
The USL file created during the compilation is the system-defined
temporary file $OLDPASS, which is passed directly to the MPE segmenter.
It can only be accessed if you do not use the default for progfile. This
is because the segmenter also uses $OLDPASS to store the prepared program
segments, overwriting any existing temporary file of the same 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
To compile, prepare, and execute a Pascal/V program entered from your
standard input device, with the program listing sent to your standard
list device, enter:
PASCALGO
To compile, prepare, and execute a Pascal/V program from the disk file
PASCSRC and send the program listing to the file LISTFILE, enter:
PASCALGO PASCSRC,LISTFILE
