BASICGO
Compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode BASIC/V program.
BASIC/V is not part of the 900 Series HP 3000 Computer System Fundamental
Operating Software and must be purchased separately.
Syntax
BASICGO [commandfile][,listfile]
Parameters
commandfile Actual file designator of the input file from which
the BASIC/V compiler commands are read. This can
be any ASCII input file. Formal file designator is
BSCTEXT. Default is $STDINX.
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 BSCLIST.
Default is $STDLIST.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (BSCTEXT and
BSCLIST) 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
This command compiles, prepares, and executes a compatibility mode
program from a "fastsave" file created by the BASIC/V interpreter. This
enables the program to run faster than it would if it were executed by
the interpreter.
To save the program after it is written, use the BASIC/V interpreter
command SAVE filename,FAST. The program then can be compiled, prepared,
and executed with the BASICGO command. You must specify the FAST option
to compile the program.
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.
Example
To compile, prepare, and execute the BASIC/V program MYPROG, enter:
BASICGO
$CONTROL USLINIT
$COMPILE MYPROG
$EXIT
The above example begins execution of the BASIC/V compiler, initializes
the USL, compiles the program MYPROG, and then exits from the compiler.
