BBXLLK 

Compiles and links an HP Business BASIC/XL program.  HP Business BASIC/XL
is not part of the 900 Series HP 3000 Computer System Fundamental
Operating Software and must be purchased separately.  (Native Mode)

Syntax 

BBXLLK textfile[,[progfile][,listfile]]


NOTE  This command follows the optional MPE/iX command line syntax.
      Refer to "Optional Format for MPE/iX Commands" at the beginning of
      this chapter.


Parameters 

textfile              Actual file designator of the BASIC SAVE file
                      (filecode 1247 or BSVXL) containing the HP Business
                      BASIC/XL program to be compiled.  Formal file
                      designator is BBCIN.

progfile              Actual file designator of the object file to which
                      the Link Editor writes the linked program.  If you
                      do not specify progfile, the default is $NEWPASS,
                      which is closed as $OLDPASS.

listfile              Actual file designator of the file on which the
                      program listing is written.  This can be any ASCII
                      output file.  Formal file designator is BBCLIST. If
                      you do not specify listfile, the default is
                      $STDLIST.


NOTE  The formal file designators used in this command (BBCIN and
      BBCLIST) 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 BBXLLK command compiles and links a source program stored in a BASIC
SAVE file generated by the HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter.  If the
progfile parameter is omitted, the linked program is written to the
systemcdefined temporary file $OLDPASS. To save the linked program in a
file other than $OLDPASS, specify the file name on the BBXLLK command
line.

Create a BASIC SAVE program file from within the HP Business BASIC/XL
interpreter, by using the HP Business BASIC/XL >SAVE filename command.
The program may be compiled and linked with the BBXLLK command and
executed with the MPE/iX RUN command.


NOTE  This command is implemented as a command file.  If you set the
      HPPATH variable to null (SETVAR ""), 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.

Example 

To compile and link a source program stored in the
HP Business BASIC/XL BASIC SAVE file named MYSCR to the program file
named MYPROG, and send the listing to the standard list device, enter:

     BBXLLK MYSCR,MYPROG
