BASICOMP
Compiles 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
BASICOMP [commandfile][,[uslfile][,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.
uslfile Actual file designator of the user subprogram
library (USL) file to which the object code is
written, which can be any binary output file with a
file code of USL or 1024. Its formal file
designator is BSCUSL. If the uslfile parameter is
omitted, the object code is saved to the temporary
file $OLDPASS. If entered, this parameter specifies
that the file was created in one of four ways:
* By using the SAVE command to save the
default USL file $OLDPASS, created by a
previous compilation.
* By building the USL with the MPE segmenter
command BUILDUSL. Refer to the MPE Segmenter
Reference Manual (30000-90011).
* By creating a new USL file with the MPE/iX
BUILD command and 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 on which the
program listing is written. This can be any ASCII
output file. Formal designator is BSCLIST. Default
is $STDLIST.
NOTE The formal file designators used in this command (BSCTEXT, BSCUSL,
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
The BASICOMP command compiles a program from a "fastsave" file generated
by the BASIC/V interpreter. If a USL file is not specified, the BASIC/V
compiler stores the object code in the default systemcdefined temporary
file $OLDPASS, as shown in the second example, below. You may, however,
build a USL file in the permanent file domain, then direct the BASIC/V
compiler to store the object code in this file by naming the USL file in
the BASICOMP command line. Refer to "Examples."
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 the BASIC/V program MYPROG onto the USL named OBJECT, enter:
BUILD OBJECT;CODE=USL
BASICOMP, OBJECT
$CONTROL USLINIT
$COMPILE MYPROG
$EXIT
The above example builds the USL file, begins execution of the BASIC/V
compiler and specifies the USL named OBJECT, initializes the USL,
compiles the fastsave program named MYPROG, and then exits from the
compiler.
If you do not choose to build a USL file, the BASICOMP command compiles
your program and stores the object code in the default USL file $OLDPASS.
BASICOMP
$COMPILE MYRUN
$EXIT
The above example begins execution of the BASIC/V compiler, accepts
commands from $STDINX, and specifies $OLDPASS the USL output and $STDLIST
for listing output. It compiles from the fastsave file named MYRUN into
a USL named $OLDPASS, and then exits from the BASIC/V compiler.
To run your program, enter:
PREPRUN $OLDPASS
