Chapter 7 File System
System Defined Files
MPE/iX reserves certain file designators for system defined files.
System defined files are reserved words that refer to a specific type of
system file.
$STDIN refers to the device that you used to initiate your
current session or job. The device is normally a
terminal for a session and spoolfile for a job. Data
entries in this file should not have a colon in column
1. (A colon in column 1 indicates the end-of-data).
Use the :EOD command to delimit data.
$STDINX is the same as $STDIN, except that a colon in the first
column does not indicate the end of data. Thus $STDINX
may contain commands as well as data. Interactive
programs and subsystems often use $STDINX to reference
the terminal as an input file. Use :EOD or :EOF to
indicate the end of data.
$STDLIST is the device designated as the session or job output
device, the device MPE uses to respond to your commands.
This device is normally a terminal for sessions and line
printer for jobs.
$NULL is a file designator that is used to tell MPE to read
from or write to a non-existent file as though the
input-output operation were successful. This file is
usually used to discard output.
$NEWPASS is a temporary disk file. MPE uses $NEWPASS to store
information during the execution of a program. When a
program closes $NEWPASS, the system automatically
changes its name to $OLDPASS.
$OLDPASS is a temporary disk file containing the contents of the
last $NEWPASS file closed. When a $NEWPASS file is
renamed $OLDPASS, the system deletes the previous
version of $OLDPASS.
You can use $NEWPASS and $OLDPASS when compiling and preparing a program.
MPE compilers write object code to $NEWPASS during compilation. When
compilation is complete, the compiler closes $NEWPASS and the system
renames the object code (USL) file $OLDPASS. When you prepare the USL
file ($OLDPASS), the system stores prepared (executable) code in the
$NEWPASS file. When preparation is complete, the system closes $NEWPASS
and renames the executable code file $OLDPASS. Use the SAVE command to
save the program stored in $OLDPASS to a permanent file.

| | previous option was prespace movement, the driver outputs a line with |

| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE If octal codes %55 and %60 are selected with automatic page eject
in effect (by default or following an octal code of %102 or %402),
the resulting skip is to a location absolute to the page. A code
of %60 is replaced by %303, and a code of %55 is replaced by %304.
Therefore, the resulting skip can be less than two or three lines,
respectively.
If automatic page eject is not in effect, a true double or triple
space results, but the perforation between pages is not
automatically skipped. For the HP 2608S and 2563A, if auto-eject
and feature mode are in effect, a code of %60 is replaced by two
codes of %302, and a code of %55 is replaced by three codes of
%302. The resulting skip is double or triple space with
auto-eject, respectively.
