PASXLGO
Compiles, links, and executes an HP Pascal/iX program. HP Pascal/iX is
not part of the 900 Series HP 3000 Computer System Fundamental Operating
Software and must be purchased separately. (Native Mode)
Syntax
PASXLGO [textfile][,[listfile][,[libfile]]] [;INFO=quotedstring]
Parameters
textfile The name of the text file that contains the source
code to be compiled. This is an ASCII file that
you prepare with an editor such as EDIT/V. The
formal file designator is PASTEXT.
If you are running HP Pascal/iX from your terminal,
you will probably specify a disk textfile. If you
do not specify textfile, then the default file is
$STDIN. $STDIN is the current input device, usually
your terminal.
When textfile is your terminal, you can enter
source code interactively in response to the >
prompt. When you have entered all the source code,
type a colon (:) in response to the > prompt to
end the interactive input.
The source code to be compiled can be a program or
a list of modules.
listfile The name of the file on which the compiler writes
the program listing. It can be any ASCII file.
The default is $STDLIST. $STDLIST is usually the
terminal if you are running HP Pascal/iX
interactively, or the printer if you are running a
batch job. The formal file designator is PASLIST.
If your terminal is both textfile and listfile, the
compiler does not write the program listing on the
terminal.
If listfile is $NULL or a file other than $STDLIST,
the compiler displays on $STDLIST those lines that
contain errors.
libfile The name of the HP Pascal/iX library file that the
compiler searches if a search path is not specified
with the compiler option SEARCH. The default is
PASLIB in your group and account.
quotedstring A string of no more than 132 characters (including
the single or double quotation marks that enclose
it).
The quotedstring string is used in the HP Pascal/iX
programming language to pass initial compiler
options to the compiler. HP Pascal/iX brackets the
quotedstring string with dollar signs ($) and
places the string before the first line of source
code in the text file.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (PASTEXT, PASLIB,
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.
Operation Notes
The PASXLGO command compiles, links, and executes an
HP Pascal/iX program. If textfile is omitted, the compiler expects input
from your standard input device. If you do not specify listfile, the
compiler sends the program listing to the formal file designator PASLIST
(default is $STDLIST).
The object file created during compilation is a system-defined temporary
file, $NEWPASS, which is passed directly to the Link Editor as $OLDPASS.
The Link Editor purges the object file and writes the linked program to
$OLDPASS, which is then executed and may be executed repeatedly.
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
To compile, link, and execute an HP Pascal/iX program entered from your
standard input device, with the program listing sent to your standard
list device, enter:
PASXLGO
To compile, link, and execute an HP Pascal/iX program from the disk file
SOURCE and send the program listing to the file LISTFILE, enter:
PASXLGO SOURCE,LISTFILE
