MPE Commands not Available in HP Desk
HP Desk can perform all MPE commands that are programmatically executable
using the MPE COMMAND intrinsic and the RUN command with a limited number
of parameters. For instance the following are MPE commands that are not
available from within HP Desk:
BYE MRJE
SYSDUMP DEBUG (works on MPE/XL 2.2 or later)
RJE VINIT
CHGROUP DO
HELLO SETCATALOG
VSUSER SHOWCATALOG (works on MPE/XL 2.2 or later)
REDO
In addition the functionality of these commands can be obtained but not
in the normal way:
BASIC EDITOR
RPG BASICGO
FCOPY RPGGO
BASICOMP FORTGO
SEGMENTER BASICPREP
FORTRAN SPL (works on MPE/XL)
COBOL FORTPREP
SPLGO (works on MPE/XL) COBOLGO
PREP SPLPREP
COBOLPREP PREPRUN
PASCAL (works on MPE/XL)
The ways in which you can obtain the functionality of the EDITOR, FCOPY,
PREP, PREPRUN and SEGMENTER commands is explained over the page. The
other commands listed above are compiler commands and can be used as
described in the Compiler Commands section.
EDITOR
This subsystem can only be invoked with the :RUN or EXECUTE command, for
example:
:RUN EDITOR.PUB.SYS
FCOPY
To invoke the FCOPY command, set up FCOPY as an abbreviation for the
line:
EXECUTE FCOPY.PUB.SYS
Then use:
FCOPY FROM=MYFILE; TO=; CHAR
PREP
The PREP command is only available through SEGMENTER (see below). Run
the Segmenter and use the PREPARE command. You could use the &PRINT
script command to lead a user through the steps necessary to do this.
PREPRUN
Do the PREPARE in the same way as for the PREP command, but add commands
to the function definition which SAVE and RUN the program file.
SEGMENTER
This can only be used with a :RUN command:
:RUN SEGDVR.PUB.SYS
NOTE Some SEGMENTER errors call the QUITPROG intrinsic which causes MPE
to terminate HP Desk.
